A seated figure with long dark hair, wearing an orange saffron robe and a long rudraksha mala draped over the chest, holds a small trident-like staff and sits with hands folded in front of a low altar. On the altar are black stone murtis of sages adorned with garlands, gold-trimmed cloth and marigold-like flowers, a brass plate of offerings, a lit oil lamp and a brass lamp. To the right, a white-faced statue wears a cream shawl and raises one hand. A printed caption is visible in the lower right corner of the frame. The scene is a cave shrine with rough grey rock walls.
