A seated figure in an orange-saffron robe with a white-and-green flower garland sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne with hands pressed together in namaskar. Before him, a woman in a peach-pink sari kneels and reaches toward his feet while a man in white ritual clothes kneels beside her. In the foreground, two young men in orange and yellow-and-white clothing sit before a gold-tinted tray of flower petals and offerings, and a fire lamp is visible. Behind the throne are gold drapes, a yellow flower arrangement in a brass vase and a table with fruit and boxes. This is a padapuja-style worship of the seated figure, with devotees offering flowers and performing foot veneration.
