In the centre, a figure in orange-red robes with a red-and-white flower garland and a rudraksha mala sits on an ornate gold throne, one hand raised in blessing. Two gilded deity figures stand on either side of the gate, one holding a trident-like staff. In the foreground, a man in orange robes with a shaved head and bare upper body holds up a multi-tiered brass oil lamp with lit flames. Several seated devotees in orange and red robes sit on the floor below the throne, one reading from a sheet of paper. Hanging brass bells and lamps hang from above the throne.
