A seated figure with long swept-back dark hair, a garland of white flowers, orange-red cloth, gold bangles and a gold necklace has one foot being washed by a young man in white kurta who kneels before a silver plate of fruit and sweets. A shaved-headed priest in orange-red cloth with a white tilak kneels at left holding a small brass vessel. Behind, a monk in orange with a white forehead band holds a tall silver trident-like staff. Seated and standing devotees in orange and saffron robes watch, and a man in an orange-red dhoti holds a camera. Family members in saris and salwar kameez stand at left with hands folded. Framed artwork of a horseman hangs on the wall and a window with curtains lights the room.
