A kneeling man in a cream shirt and white dhoti sits with palms pressed together in namaste before a cane sofa draped with an orange cloth. On the sofa stands a framed portrait of a long-haired figure in orange robes with a rudraksha mala, garlanded with marigolds, roses and white flower strands. Brass oil lamps, a plate of flowers, fruit, rice and a kalasha-style bowl sit on a mat in front. A second person in orange clothing, partly visible at the right, tends the offerings. Pillars with orange and yellow cloth draped on them and a standing statue in grey and orange stand in the background. The scene reads as a puja honouring a framed portrait, not a live presence.
