A seated figure on an ornate gold-and-brown throne with a golden lion-armrest wears a black cylindrical headpiece, orange-red robes and layered rudraksha malas, with a gold pendant. A kneeling man in a white shirt pours liquid from a golden vessel over the seated figure's feet, while a kneeling man in white dhoti and shawl with rudraksha mala and tilak, and a young man in white shirt and jeans with an orange lanyard, kneel with joined palms. Standing behind them are people in orange, saffron and red robes and a man in red kurta, in a large hall with patterned carpet. The scene resembles a padapuja foot-washing ritual.
