A seated figure on a red and gold throne with lion-head armrests wears a yellow flower garland, a red-orange dhoti-style cloth and gold bangles, with white tripundra marks on the forehead. Before him, devotees in white and cream clothing kneel and stand with folded hands and offerings; a young girl in white joins her palms, and a woman in a cream saree with gold border reaches forward. Trays of fruit and brass plates sit on the red floor, with apples piled in the foreground. Behind them, a large deity murti is decorated with marigold garlands, banana plants and a kalasha-like gold structure frames the scene. Several people stand or sit further back among the crowd.
