A seated figure in maroon robes and an orange turban sits on a gilded throne decorated with a white flower garland and marigolds, on a red-carpeted dais under a white canopy. Devotees in white kurtas and dhotis and women in white and blue saris wear orange shawls and stand in a line, some with hands folded, while a man in white leans forward to offer something to the seated figure. A large floral backdrop of yellow marigolds and pink blooms frames a framed portrait of a saffron-robed sannyasi. Scattered petals cover the floor.
