A temple scene with a painted, colourful ornamental canopy above a central raised area. An elderly man with a long white beard and a red-orange headband, wearing saffron and orange draped robes, stands at a raised platform beside a striped tiger-skin seat, extending his hand over a tray held by a man in white at left. Beside him a man in a yellow robe and face mask stands near a white and red decorated pillar and a box labelled HUNDI. A woman in a cream dress and mask presses her palms together in front of a bearded man in a yellow dhoti. Marigold flowers lie on the platform, and a deity murti is visible behind the pillar. Seated audience members are visible at the bottom edge.
