On the left, a long-haired figure in saffron-brown robes with gold necklaces and a red-and-white flower garland sits on a red cushioned seat, smiling.

Several saffron-robed priests sit and kneel near a golden throne draped with flower garlands and pink and green cloth, while kalasha pots, brass plates, flowers and a small brass lamp rest on a red rug in the foreground.
