A seated figure on a gilded throne with lion-armrest carvings receives a padapuja-style foot ritual. He wears an orange-red robe, long rudraksha malas and a dark tall turban-style headwear, and extends a hand toward a devotee. Two devotees in white ritual clothes with gold-bordered cloth stand or kneel nearby, one placing a hand toward a large ornate silver-gold bowl holding white petals or offerings. A woman in a black t-shirt with a red lanyard kneels with palms joined, and a man in orange saffron robes and beads stands behind. Attendees in casual clothes and a photographer appear in the background. Among those present, the seated figure wearing the rudraksha malas and turban is a probable candidate for a person by his distinctive adornments, though his identity is uncertain.
