A seated man in saffron-orange robes with gold borders sits on an ornate gold throne in a cream-coloured hall with arched carved arches and white pillars. He wears a long rudraksha mala, a red tilak on his forehead and a headband, eyes closed in stillness. In front of him on the steps a shaved-headed priest in orange clothes and a gold-beaded necklace sits arranging items on silver trays and plates, with a pink flower and a small brass vessel nearby. Behind them a deity murti in a blue-framed niche with a peacock painting. The scene reads as a ritual or satsang setting.
