Inside a temple room, a man in an orange saffron dhoti and shawl with a rudraksha mala and gold chain, whose back is turned to the camera and whose upper body has white ash markings, reaches toward a kneeling figure in white dhoti with a gold border. Behind them, a man with a white-marked forehead sits on an ornate gold-and-carved-wood throne. A man with a turban and white markings on his arms and chest sits at left, holding a ritual object. A small silver vessel rests near the throne base. The kneeling devotee wears a rudraksha mala and a white cloth. Carved wooden panels and a brick wall form the background.
