A seated man in an orange-saffron robe with a rudraksha mala and a white flower garland sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne in front of a shrine with a deity murti dressed in red with yellow-and-white garlands. Devotees kneel on a mat before him: a woman in white with a yellow scarf, a woman in a green sari, a woman in white with orange trim, and a man in white dhoti and shawl. Brass lamps and offerings stand near the throne. The setting is an open-air temple courtyard with orange curtains, carved stone walls and a green garden behind. This appears to be a padapuja, with devotees gathered at the feet of the seated figure. The seated man's identity is only appearance-based.
