A seated figure in an orange-and-maroon robe and a maroon turban, wearing a long garland of white flowers and green beads, sits on a raised orange-cushioned seat in a plain blue-walled room, holding a silver staff raised upward. A devotee in a white shirt with an orange-red shawl bends forward to offer padapuja, washing or honouring the seated figure's bare feet over a tray of flowers and a silver bowl. Around them, women in yellow and green saris with orange flowers in their hair kneel with folded hands, and a standing attendant in orange robes with rudraksha beads holds a ceremonial staff. Flowers and a brass lamp lie on the floor. Visible ritual performed as devotion.
