A seated woman on an ornate silver-and-gold throne with a leopard-print cushion wears a red-orange turban, a red-and-yellow flower garland, gold armlets and a saffron-coloured sari with gold border. She raises her hands in blessing or greeting. Around her, women in deep maroon and orange saris and a man in an orange-clad saffron robe stand or kneel, some offering small items. A seated devotee in a white shirt with a red-and-yellow rosette and a rudraksha mala stands at right; a man in a dark shirt bows low at lower right. A tripod-mounted camera stands in the background beside a shrine with painted yellow-and-green trim, under a corrugated roof with hanging decorations. Visible people number roughly twenty.

Behind them, a shaved-headed man in orange dhoti and rudraksha mala stands near the shrine steps. Several women in maroon and red saris, one holding a brass plate, and crowded devotees in white shirts and dhotis fill the room. A white air cooler and wall vents are visible.
