A seated man in orange-saffron robes with a rudraksha mala and a long ceremonial necklace sits on an ornate gold throne with a red cushion and tiger-skin draping, while a silver trident stands behind him. He reaches toward a tiered stack of terracotta pots decorated with white painted patterns, which two women in cream and white saris with red shawls hold and help arrange. One woman stands and smiles with a red bindi and earrings; the other kneels in front with her back to the camera. Lush green plants and a gold drape form the backdrop.
