A seated man in an orange shirt and orange dhoti sits on the floor at the lower left, palms pressed together in prayer with eyes closed. Before him is a shrine with two large golden deity murti statues seated on a blue-draped platform, one wearing an orange turban and holding a mace-like staff, the other in a red and gold sari with a crown and garlands. In front, a white-clad seated figure wearing an orange turban, orange shawl and rudraksha-style mala is a statue, not a physical person. Flower garlands in yellow, pink and red drape the shrine. Brass oil lamps, a kalasha-like brass vessel, a plate of flowers and offering dishes sit on the floor and steps.
