A devotee in white clothes and a rudraksha mala bends low and touches the bare feet of a seated figure in saffron-orange robes on an orange cushioned chair. The devotee's hands rest on the feet while his head is lowered over a brass bowl. Garlands of marigold and rose petals drape the chair and a flower-decked table below. Other people stand nearby in white and orange garments, and a leopard-print cloth is visible behind the seated figure. The scene suggests a padapuja style honouring.
