A seated figure in a dark red-orange robe and a long beaded rudraksha necklace sits on an ornate gold throne with carved lion-head arms and a gold arched back, draped with a white and black striped cloth, inside a painted blue and pink shrine hall. Behind him hang small brass bells and lamps on chains. In the foreground a bald priest in orange clothing holds up a multi-tier brass aarti lamp with lit flames, while other devotees in orange and red sit near the throne with hands raised. The scene looks like an aarti offering before a seated teacher.
