A seated man in an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl with gold-trimmed edges sits on an ornate gold throne with red cushions, wearing a flower garland, a rudraksha-style beaded necklace, a floral head wreath and an armlet, eyes closed as if in meditation. Before him on the floor, several women and a young man in white garments and rudraksha malas attend a puja arrangement of brass plates, flower petals, a lit brass oil lamp and a tray with a folded cloth. Behind them stands a bald devotee in white with palms joined.
