A seated man in an orange dhoti and orange robe, wearing a long garland of white flowers and red-orange marigolds, raises one hand in blessing while his foot is washed in a brass bowl by a devotee in orange who kneels at the front. A bare-chested priest in orange stands behind him holding a long silver staff. Opposite them, a bald man in a white shirt and an older woman in white with a grey-streaked braid sit with hands pressed in anjali. A younger man in white with a rudraksha mala kneels nearby. Behind them is a wall shrine with a purple and orange deity picture garlanded with white flowers, a brass oil lamp and an orange cloth-draped altar with marigolds.
