A seated man in orange and maroon robes holds a silver trident and wears a long garland of white flowers, red roses and yellow beads, with a red bindi and bangles. Around him, shaved-headed young men in orange and white cloth stand and kneel, one with white tripundra markings and rudraksha malas, and a woman in a white sari sits near brass vessels and oil lamps on a low table. Behind them a framed portrait with garlands and a deity picture hang on a wall beside a window. The seated man's appearance is not clearly established, so identity is unsure.
