A seated man in saffron-orange robes and a pink-and-white flower garland sits on a leopard-print cushioned silver throne, holding a silver trident. Long dark hair falls over his shoulders and he wears rudraksha bracelets on his arm. He touches a row of brass vessels on a tray before him. Beside him, a shaved-head older man in white bows forward, bare-chested, while a woman in a white sari kneels near the vessels. Behind them stands a deity murti dressed in red and gold, decorated with yellow and white flower garlands. Ritual puja items are arranged on a yellow cloth. Three people are visible. The temple-like backdrop suggests a ritual offering setting.
