A figure in an orange-red robe with a long garland sits on an orange-covered seat holding a silver trident, while a hand holds a lit flame near him; a devotee in white kneels and others stand around in saffron and white garments, some with their hands folded in namaskar. A woman in a blue sari and a woman in a white sari with a red border watch, a man in a robe takes photographs, and a bowl of petals and fruit sits on a table nearby. Framed pictures and a fan are visible on the walls.

A person seated on a red-cushioned chair wears a red-and-saffron head wrap, saffron robe with gold border, a white and red flower garland and a rudraksha mala, smiling as devotees honour her. Beside her a shaved-headed young person in saffron garb with rudraksha beads holds a lit oil lamp for a pada puja. A man in white shirt and red shawl also reaches toward the lamp, while a devotee in the foreground holds hands in prayer. Flowers and fruit lie on a tray before the seat; a framed photo and a small deity murti sit on a wall shelf. The seated person is a devotee-hosted guest, but no appearance-based cues are strong enough to name a specific individual.2014-07-01
