Inside a temple hall with polished wooden floor, a bald elderly man in orange robes sits on an ornate gold throne with carved lion-head armrests, wearing a rudraksha mala, bead necklaces and a white-and-red forehead band, holding a small silver cup. Beside him on a second gold seat sits another man in saffron robes with a long gold chain. In the foreground a man in an orange robe with a rudraksha mala bows low with his face near the floor, while a man in a turquoise shirt lies prostrate. Standing devotees in white dhotis and shirts in the background press their palms together. A white fan and an orange banner are visible. Several people are visible, including those partly cut off at the edges.

An elderly bald man with a shaved head, wearing orange clothes, rudraksha malas and a gold-banded headpiece, sits on an ornate gold throne-like seat with a red cushion and holds a small metal cup. A younger man in saffron-orange robes kneels before him, his hands reaching to the seated man's feet, while another man in a teal shirt and white dhoti bends forward, and a pair of kneeling devotees in white and orange sit on the wooden floor.
