A dim indoor hall with a raised red stage. On the right, a figure seated on an ornate gold throne with a red cushion wears white robes, an orange-and-white sash, a white turban and a white flower garland, with hands joined in greeting. Below and in front, several devotees in white clothes lie prostrate on the red platform in full-length obeisance. Standing devotees in white and in saffron fill the left side of the room, some with palms pressed together. A red and yellow decorative tassel hangs from the wall, a kalasha-like brass vessel and offerings sit near the front, and a portrait-banner hangs at the top left. Pictured figures on the throne are a person seated rather than a clear identification.
