A shaved-headed man in an orange-saffron robe and wide rudraksha mala necklaces sits cross-legged on a silver-covered floor with hands pressed together in prayer, eyes lowered. He wears gold cobra-shaped armlets and a red bracelet of beads, with white vertical tilak lines on his forehead and arms. Around him, boys in maroon robes with gold trim sit attentively. Brass puja vessels, a small gold lamp, flowers and a kalasha-like pot lie on an orange cloth before him. The scene suggests a puja or satsang in progress. Whether this man is a person cannot be confirmed from appearance alone, so he is described by role as a devotee in orange robes performing prayer.
