Indoor ritual scene in a stone-walled hall with a sacred fire burning on a low fire pit built of stacked yellow blocks, surrounded by offerings of fruit, flowers and small brass vessels. A priest in a white dhoti with a saffron-and-green sash, a yellow headband and beaded necklaces leans forward, pouring or offering from a vessel near the flame. Behind him, a figure in a gold-framed throne wearing an orange-brown robe and a gold necklace sits on a colourful striped rug, with hands folded. Yellow marigold garlands decorate a silver tray at right, and a wooden studded door stands open in the background.
