Before him on a red cloth, women and a man in white clothes sit in a padapuja, with brass plates holding flowers, fruit, yellow sweets and lit oil lamps. A woman in a purple sari and a woman in white wear red and rudraksha malas. Behind them a man in a red-brown robe sits, and a man in white sits near a sound mixing desk and camera on a patterned carpet.

Golden lion statues flank the throne, and a tall green ivy trailing from the ledge sits at the top. Four devotees kneel at his feet: a woman in white with a white sari, a woman in a red-and-maroon checked shawl, a bald man in white with an orange cloth, and a blonde woman in a white top with an orange cloth over her shoulder.

A gilded peacock-style throne back, a trident-topped staff and a golden ceremonial staff stand beside him, and a red-and-gold lamp stand is nearby. Kneeling in front, seated devotees in white dhotis and gold necklaces attend steel plates with pink flowers, fruit and lamps on a low platform, one man with a gold necklace seated in white, a woman in a white sari with a black mala, and a young man in white.
