A seated figure in a red-orange turban with a gold ornament and a small red bindi is dressed in a pink-gold shimmering shawl and draped garments, wearing a silver-and-gold necklace, a red and white flower garland with a black ribbon, rudraksha beads, and a gold-embossed waist belt. A small microphone is visible near the face. In front, on a red cloth with a patterned border, are a brass tray of yellow and white flowers, a gold yantra-style object, a coconut in a copper pot with a pink rose and garland, brass oil lamps, a small dhol-style drum, an orange-draped figure, a brass bell, and a gold-framed relief of a dancing deity on the wall. Pink and peach roses stand in a vase at left. Their ritual is consistent with alankaram and puja arrangement, and the seated figure appears to be the honoured guest of the altar.
