Around him, devotees sit on the floor: a woman in white with a dark rudraksha mala and hands folded, a woman in orange and yellow saris, a small girl in orange with hands pressed together, and a woman in white with a yellow shawl praying. In front of them stand silver plates with red apples, pink flowers and offerings. A large painted backdrop of a temple with deity figures stands behind the throne, and a white projection screen hangs on the left wall.
