A man with long dark hair, wearing red-orange robes and rudraksha beads, sits on an ornate gold throne under a fringed orange canopy, holding a small object in his hand. Nearby seated attendants wear red and white clothes; a woman in white with a long braid sits in the foreground, and a figure in orange-red robes stands at left beside a lit torch.

A central man in an orange-red turban, red-orange dhoti with gold borders and a gold pendant necklace, wearing a long red-and-green marigold garland, stands with palms pressed together in namaskar while holding a clear vessel. Beside him a man in white dhoti and shawl holds a similar vessel. Around them devotees in white and red-orange clothing stand with hands folded, a tall brass lamp stand and oil lamp are at front, and a fan and red-cushioned seat sit at left.
