A priest in an orange-red turban and red-brown robe with a gold border stands at left, adorning a gilded metal deity murti seated on a golden throne. The murti wears a tall jeweled crown, heavy garlands of yellow marigolds with red roses and white flowers, and a jeweled necklace. Smaller attendant figures with ornate jeweled crowns flank the central image in orange and gold garments. The priest, wearing sacred ash marks on his arms, places a flower garland, with gold-framed carved panels and a gold drape behind. The scene appears to be a temple-style decoration during satsang-related worship.
