Before him, devotees in white and cream clothing sit on the floor, several holding incense sticks and offering trays with fruit, flowers and brass vessels. A woman in an orange shawl and a woman in a green sari sit among them. Behind is a red-and-white striped temple wall, orange curtains and a golden-gated shrine with a small brass kalasha and offerings on a stone altar. The scene resembles a satsang or puja gathering. The seated man in orange has distinctive long swept hair, orange saffron clothing and a rudraksha mala, consistent with a person depiction in person.
