A seated figure with a rust-red turban decorated with green leaves and a long flower garland of red and white blooms sits on a low platform beside a gold-framed ceremonial structure, shirtless with dark hair. Around him, devotees in white dhotis and cream shawls, some wearing rudraksha malas, kneel or stand on a red carpet; one man in a striped shirt presses his palms together in namaskar, while a devotee in a cream dhoti offers something to the seated figure. An older man in a white shirt and glasses stands at left. A brass lamp stand and kalasha-like brass fixtures are visible at right, with a red curtain behind. The seated figure's appearance shows some cues such as the turban and garland, but identity is uncertain, so role is given as seated honoured figure.
