A seated figure in saffron-orange robes and a long rudraksha mala sits in an orange armchair with orange cushions on an orange carpet, before an ornate temple shrine with gold railings, a deity murti in blue and gold draped with red and orange garlands, and a kalasha. A man in a striped blue shirt and dark trousers bends forward to offer something, while a man in a white shirt stands at left and another in a pale shirt stands behind. A yellow-sashed priest in white stands at the left edge. The seated figure has long dark hair and a wide smile, with the appearance of a candidate for a person given the saffron robes, rudraksha mala and long swept hair, though the image shows the cues only partially; a person is set to unsure. A black board on the left lists text, and a red-and-white pillared structure frames the scene.

The bending man wears a white shirt, dark trousers, a purple and gold bordered shawl draped over his shoulders, and bangles. A standing man on the left in a white shirt and white dhoti-style clothing with a mala looks on. Behind the throne, a woman in an orange robe with a mala has her palms pressed together.
