A seated figure in a red-orange turban and saffron-red robes sits on an ornate gold throne with a red cushion, holding a white wand or staff. Before him, a bare-chested man in a white dhoti stands with palms pressed together in namaskar, a yellow flower tucked near his hands, while a second man in a white dhoti and orange cloth stands to the left with his hand on the first man's shoulder. Behind them a woman in a dark sari and other devotees stand in dim evening light near metal barriers. Gold beaded necklaces, rudraksha-style beads and gold armbands adorn the seated figure. The setting appears to be an outdoor ceremonial procession area.
