A seated figure in orange robes with a red and white flower garland sits on a gilded throne-like seat, their feet resting on a golden tray filled with silver bowls of flowers, oil and offerings in a padapuja-style worship. Several devotees kneel around the tray: an older man in a white shirt with hands folded in prayer, a woman in a teal green saree with gold jewellery and bangles, a woman in a white saree with a purple border, and a younger woman in red. Two more women in the foreground, one in an orange top and one in white with an orange border, sit facing the tray. Pink and purple flower petals are scattered among the bowls, and a pink curtain and framed picture hang on the wall behind.
