A seated man in orange-brown robes and an orange turban sits on a red-cushioned dais with hands joined in namaskar before a richly decorated stage. Behind him a large deity murti with a crown is garlanded with flowers in red, yellow and white, and flanked by gold-framed alcoves holding garlanded standing figures. A standing attendant in orange robes at the right raises a hand toward the altar. Red velvet drapes hang behind, with gold kalasha-like ornaments and oil lamps, and the scene suggests a satsang or initiation setting.
