On the left, a seated figure in an orange and red saffron-coloured robe, with long swept-back hair and a red turban, sits on a gilded red-cushioned throne while a devotee in white kneels before him on a red patterned rug, a tray of offerings nearby. In the centre a woman in a white dress with blue embroidery stands with hands folded, while a woman in white with a rudraksha-style mala and orange shawl stands at the side, and several women in white and cream saris and white dresses stand behind. Behind the throne a decorated golden palanquin with a gold canopy is hung with multicoloured flower garlands. The seated figure has distinctive long hair, a red turban and saffron-coloured clothing with ornate gold ornaments, consistent with a person, seated in a receiving role.
