A seated man in saffron-orange robes with a long swept-back hairstyle, wearing a multi-coloured flower garland and bangles, holds a tall silver trident while smiling. A woman in a purple blouse and cream sari, and a man in white with a vibhuti mark, hold a brass plate with a flaming oil lamp and flowers as an aarti is offered. Behind them a shaven-headed devotee in saffron with rudraksha beads sits with hands folded, and a standing saffron-robed man stands with palms pressed together. Other women in cream and yellow saris sit on striped mats in a plain blue-walled room, praying with folded hands.
