A young person in an orange-saffron robe with a rudraksha mala and a white-and-yellow flower garland holds an oil lamp with a flame in one hand and a small bell in the other. Beside them, a man in a white shirt with an orange shawl stands near brass lamps and offerings. To the right, a large deity murti is adorned with a long multicolour flower garland in yellow, pink, red and white and sits on a white cloth-draped seat under a cobra-hood canopy. In the foreground, a white statue in orange cloth with a flower garland sits on a stone base, and a gold-bordered cloth lies on the floor. A few onlookers stand at the left edge near a sign reading Dhyanapeetam Ananda Sabha.
