Devotees in a hall press their palms together and bow their heads toward a figure in an orange saffron garment with a gold border, who stands at right holding a tray of offerings and extends a hand toward them. The orange-clad person wears long dark hair, a rudraksha mala, a gold chain and a bangle. Men in white shirts and a striped black polo are in the foreground, with a decorated backdrop, hanging banners and a golden deity murti visible at the rear. The appearance of the orange-clad figure is consistent with the page reference to a person, but the face is not clearly distinguishable, so identity is uncertain.
