Behind them a woman in orange with a long rudraksha mala stands watching, and to the right a woman in a yellow sari with bangles stands among other onlookers in a room with red curtains. The central figure's cues are a rudraksha mala and a ceremonial garland, but the appearance is not distinctive enough to confirm identity, so the figure is described by role as the officiant giving the blessing.2014-04-27A home interior where a seated figure in saffron and maroon robes, with long dark hair, rudraksha-style beaded necklaces, gold bangles and a garland of white flowers, receives padapuja from a kneeling devotee in white.

Two saffron-clad attendants with white forehead bands kneel nearby, while a priest in saffron with a shaved head pours from a vessel at the lower left.
