A ceremonial scene in a temple-like hall. A seated man on an ornate gold throne with a red-maroon dhoti-style garment and a gold-beaded necklace and rudraksha mala, with a red tilak on his forehead and a full dark beard, smiles while a kneeling man in white shirt and white dhoti with a red-orange cloth draped over his shoulder bows at his feet. Standing attendants in white shirts and white dhotis with gold-bordered cloth stand around, one bare-chested holding a ceremonial staff with rudraksha beads. A woman in a maroon sari with long braided hair stands at the right edge.

A seated figure on an ornate gold throne with a cobra-hood canopy wears saffron-orange robes, a beaded necklace and a rudraksha mala, with long dark hair and a beard; he is smiling and appears to be blessing or greeting a devotee. A bald man in a white shirt and grey shorts kneels barefoot before the throne with his head bowed close to the seated figure. To the left, two men in white dhotis with gold borders stand, one with a rudraksha mala and another holding a mobile phone in hand, and a shirtless man in an orange cloth kneels at the throne's foot near flowers and an offering.

A bearded man in saffron/orange robes with a gold necklace, long hair, and armbands sits on the throne, holding a red fruit and reaching toward a white-haired man in a white dhoti who kneels and bows with his head touching the throne's foot area. Behind them, a shirtless man with a rudraksha mala and a man in white ritual cloth attend; a standing man in a white and yellow-bordered dhoti and another in a white shirt observe.
