A seated figure in saffron-orange robes, with a long swept-back hairstyle and a dark rudraksha mala around the neck, sits in an orange armchair on an orange-draped platform inside a temple shrine. A man in a blue-and-white striped shirt bends forward and touches the seated figure's head in blessing, while the seated figure smiles and holds a small object in one hand. Three men in white and light shirts stand nearby watching. Behind them is a gold-framed altar with a gold kalasha-style vessel, garlands of red and orange flowers, a blue draped canopy, and a small saffron-robed figure in a shrine, with a platter of fruit and flowers in front.
