A seated man in saffron-orange robes and a long gold-bead necklace sits on a red-and-black striped cushioned seat, a white tilak on his forehead and hair tied back. A devotee in a white shirt with an orange-red shawl kneels forward with palms pressed together, touching his forehead to a large gold lion-headed sculpture. Behind them stands a woman in white with a tilak and a black bead necklace, and a gold kalasha-like finial and a peacock-feather fan appear at the edges. The setting is an indoor hall with wooden slatted screens and a wall air conditioner.
