A ceremonial puja scene before a large ornate gilded throne with a dark red curtain behind it. A seated man in saffron-orange robes and a rudraksha mala sits at the centre, wearing a white garland and a sandalwood-marked forehead, smiling as he gestures with his hand. Standing to the left, a man in white dhoti with gold borders pours liquid from a small vessel into a brass plate. On the right, a woman in a white sari with gold border stands with hands joined. Another man with bare upper body and white ash markings sits at far left. A brass vessel and a red-and-gold cloth lie on a low gold platform in front, with green leaves in the foreground. The seated man may be a person based on orange robes, rudraksha mala and ceremonial gold seat, but the appearance cues are limited.
