A seated man on an ornate gold throne with carved lion-head armrests wears a rust-orange dhoti and shawl with a gold border, a pink and white flower garland, a gold armlet and a beaded necklace. A tiger-striped cloth covers the seat. Before him on the golden platform, a group of devotees offer silver plates holding lit oil lamps, pink flowers and red blossoms, with a heap of flowers at the base. Seated on the floor, an elderly man in white clothes, a woman in a cream sari with a red border, and women in green and white attire watch. Brass bells and hanging lamps hang from the ceiling, and a wall-mounted air conditioner and an antique studded wooden door appear behind. The scene looks like an aarti or padapuja at a satsang, with the seated man's feet being washed or honoured.
