He is extending an orange cloth and a small object to a woman in a blue top with her hair in a bun, who reaches toward him. A trident-topped silver staff stands behind him. Seated audience members in white and orange sit on the floor and in chairs, and a standing man in an orange robe with a red sash and a rudraksha mala is at the right edge, seen from behind. The setting is a hotel ballroom with cream walls and gold-patterned draperies.
