A seated figure in a saffron-orange chair wears a dark maroon robe with gold border and a large garland of red, orange and yellow flowers. He holds a silver trident aloft in his right hand while a man in a white dhoti and shirt with a red-orange shawl holds a lit oil lamp before his feet. The feet rest on a heaped mound of white jasmine-like flowers on a plate. A younger attendant in orange robes with a rudraksha mala and white forehead marks stands behind, hands folded. A green tinsel and purple ribbon decorate the doorway. This appears to be a pada puja, the washing and worship of feet with flowers and lamp.
