A seated figure in saffron-orange robes with a long gold-and-orange beaded necklace, wrist bangles and long dark hair speaks into a handheld microphone while seated on a raised red-cushioned seat in front of a fire-offering altar. The altar is decorated with pink and white flowers and orange marigold garlands, and a row of tiered kalasha pots with green mango leaves sits to the right. Behind, two gold-colored deity murtis are draped with red, yellow and white garlands under a cream draped canopy, with a tall green plant and banana bunches hanging at the top left. A small child peeks over the altar edge. Figure appearance is an unsure candidate for a person, shown with a role of speaker at a yagna.
