A seated man with long dark hair and a full beard wears an orange-brown robe over a leopard-print cloth and sits on an ornate gold-and-brown throne. A bare-chested figure with a rudraksha mala and a ceremonial gold necklace is visible, and he is handing a small silver tray with an oil lamp to a woman in pink and black. Behind them, a woman in a gold sari holds a tray, a young girl in a pink top leans forward, and two men in white dhoti with orange-patterned cloth and beaded necklaces stand near the seated figure. Many seated devotees fill the background, and two screens show a figure with long hair.
