On the right, a seated man in a saffron-orange robe, with a long shawl, rudraksha mala and gold armband, holds a silver trident-staff and sits on a flowered floral mat, raising one hand in blessing. Before him, a grey-haired man in a white dhoti and white shawl holds a lit lamp in front of a silver bowl of flowers, while a young shaven-headed boy in white sits beside him. Two young women in kurtas sit in front of him with folded hands, and an older woman in a white sari with a red-orange shawl sits in the foreground with palms pressed together. Standing devotees, including a man in an orange shawl and a man in white, watch from the doorway. Rudraksha, marigold and rose garlands decorate the scene.
