A seated man in orange-red robes and a white-and-pink flower garland sits with folded hands on a golden throne draped with a tiger-skin cloth, inside a richly painted ceremonial hall. Two tall painted deity murti flank him, holding ritual objects in their upper hands. In front, a man in an orange turban and orange clothing sits on a multicoloured mat beside brass oil lamps, while a man in white and a woman in orange sit below the throne. A young child in a light blue dress sits at the right edge, and a golden palanquin-style canopy with hanging bells surrounds the throne.

A seated man in saffron-red robes and a white-and-pink flower garland sits on a large gilded throne with tiger-skin cushions and lion figures, beneath hanging bells and chains. Before him kneels a long-haired figure in orange robes, while a man in white clothes sits beside them at the base of the throne, and a shaved-headed attendant in orange with an orange head cloth stands at left, facing the throne. Two multi-armed painted deity statues flank the scene. This appears to be a padapuja ritual.
