A seated figure in orange and rust-coloured robes sits on an orange cushioned seat, holding a silver trident-like staff upright in the right hand, wearing long white and red flower garlands with rudraksha beads and yellow bead strands, and bangles on both wrists. Beside him a bald priest in orange and saffron cloth with rudraksha malas sits before a lit oil lamp, while a standing attendant in orange dhoti holds the staff area. Three younger devotees in white and patterned clothes sit in front, one wearing a white flower head ornament, bending over flower offerings in a padapuja-style ritual with a small brass lamp nearby. White walls, a barred window and a flower-decorated white backdrop complete the room.
