A seated man in orange-saffron robes wears a long white and red flower garland and a white-and-red tilak on his forehead. He holds his cupped hands before him, palms up, with several gold rings on his fingers. Behind him stand devotees in orange robes and a man wearing a large beaded gold-toned necklace. In the foreground are clay bowls of rice, marigold petals, and a lit oil lamp on the ground. The setting appears to be outdoor ritual worship, consistent with a puja or aarti.
