A seated figure in saffron-orange robes, wearing a long rudraksha-style bead necklace and with long dark hair, sits on an ornate gold throne in a temple-like hall, holding a lit ceremonial lamp while an attendant in orange robes reaches toward him. Behind him, brightly painted deity figures with trident-like weapons flank the entrance. Several devotees sit cross-legged on mats in the foreground: a man in white dhoti and shirt with hands folded, women in green, teal and maroon saris and salwar, and a child in red kurta. Brass oil lamps stand around the throne. The scene looks like a puja or aarti in progress.
