A seated figure in saffron-orange robes, a matching orange turban, a rudraksha mala and ornate gold necklaces rests a hand on the head of a kneeling devotee in white. The seated figure is on a red-cushioned golden throne draped with a tiger-print cloth and backed by a large floral garland of yellow and red flowers. To the left a standing man in orange and gold cloth with a rudraksha mala watches. Two women in white, one with a red turban, stand at the edges, and a white paper-cutout shape hangs from the devotee's hand.
