A seated figure in saffron and deep red robes with a long rudraksha mala and gold necklace sits on a gold-carved throne, holding a folded white paper and reading it. Before him a bald man in a white shirt and wristwatch kneels with palms pressed together in namaskar, while a woman in orange and a woman in a red-bordered sari stand or sit nearby. Behind them stands a silver staff and a golden lamp stand against an ornate gold lattice screen. Visible people number about six, and the scene reads as a darshan with devotees presenting written requests.
