A seated figure in an orange saffron robe and a red-and-orange sacred thread wrap sits on a white ornate throne-like seat against a white circular backdrop on a stage. He has long dark hair swept back and a red tilak mark on the forehead. Two women stand facing him with their backs to the camera: one in a white embroidered kurta, the other in a mustard-yellow top. A man in white with a dark rudraksha mala stands at left, and a person in white with a yellow shawl stands behind. Fruit, flowers and a red-and-gold tray sit beside the throne. The setting suggests a padapuja ritual.

Two electric fans, a white pedestal with fruit on top, and beige curtains with a decorative border fill the hall.
