A devotee in a black shirt and orange-yellow shawl bends forward and touches his forehead with a hand, while a kneeling person in red shirt and black pants bows at the base of the throne. Nearby standing people in blue tracksuit, orange shawls and red tops watch, and a woman in a rust-coloured sari with a bag stands behind. A decorative kalasha-topped staff with a bundle of cloth hangs at left. A microphone stand and red-curtained backdrop complete the scene.
