A devotee in a white dhoti with an orange shawl kneels on a white cloth-covered platform, bowing forward with hands folded, and scattered flower petals lie on the cloth near the seated man's bare feet. Standing to the left are men in white with orange shawls, and a row of dark-clothed attendants stands in the background, some with hands together. Behind the throne hangs a large painted backdrop of Hindu deities, including Shiva with a trident, Ganesha, a goddess seated on a lotus, a deity on a chariot drawn by white horses, and a bull. Dim lighting.
