A bare-chested man with long matted hair, a beard and white body markings wears an orange dhoti and holds a lit oil lamp (aarti) toward a brass kalasha decorated with flowers and leaves. Seated on an ornate gold throne with a crown is a figure in a red-and-white outfit, layered white beaded necklaces and a yellow flower garland, with a brass plate of offerings beside him; the seated figure is a candidate for the a person based on the crown, ornate gold setting, garlands and ornaments, and is listed as a depiction-free in-person presence.

The seated man is on a silver-ornamented throne with red cushions. The devotee kneels before him, bare-backed, with a white cloth tied over the head, and a standing attendant in an orange cloth with rudraksha bracelets stands behind, holding the devotee's shoulder. On the right stands a deity murti decorated with garlands and a red-and-gold saree, and a gold-trimmed teal backdrop frames the scene.
