A seated man in orange-red robes and a garland of white and red flowers, with gold bangles on his wrists, sits on a wooden chair in a small room while a silver trident rises beside him. Devotees crowd around him: a woman in a red sari with gold bangles folds her hands, a woman in a yellow sari stands with hands clasped, and a woman in a blue sari offers her respects. A seated man in a white shirt holds a plate of green leaves and flowers, and a young girl in white kneels beside him. Boys in white shirts, some with sandalwood marks, press forward, and a shaved-headed man in orange garments stands at the back. Pink petals and a metal tray with offerings lie before the chair.
