In the foreground, a man with long braided hair, a beard and a red tilak sits on a brown leather throne with a gold lion finial, wearing an orange-saffron shawl over his shoulders and a rudraksha mala. He holds a silver-framed box containing a small gold deity figure and rests his hand on it. Beside him stands a man in white dhoti and shawl with a rudraksha mala and walkie-talkie. Women in green, pink and teal saris and a girl with white tilak hold similar silver boxes and printed portrait cards. An orange-clad figure and red and orange decorations appear in the background.
