He leans forward and applies a marking or tilak to a bare-chested devotee in white dhoti who kneels before him, the devotee wearing a yellow marigold garland. Behind them stands a brass kalasha-style finial and a brass trident-shaped ornament, with a red-and-white cloth and flowering plants in the background. Another person in white sits at the right edge.
