A seated figure in an orange-brown turban, long dark braided hair, a rudraksha-style neck wrap and a white and pink flower garland receives an offering from a man in a yellow t-shirt. The seated person holds out a hand toward a gilded trident-shaped ritual object, and a yellow fruit or offering is passed nearby. Behind them a woman in a gold sari and orange blouse stands among other devotees in red, orange and white clothes, with a video camera on a tripod at the left edge of a red-draped hall. A man in an orange dhoti and a gold chain stands in the centre, and the scene reads as a devotee receiving darshan during a VIP visit.
