A seated man in an orange-brown robe with a leopard-print under-cloth sits on a gold-framed brown leather throne, eyes lowered, with long rudraksha mala beads hanging over his chest and a red tilak on his forehead. Around him, devotees in white, pink, blue and orange clothing kneel and stand, several holding ornate trays with small framed pictures and brass lamps. A woman in a pink top leans in toward the throne as a woman in a white and blue sari holds a tray nearby. Behind the throne, a standing attendant holds a tall gold staff, and a screen displays an image in the background. A portrait labelled with a name is not clearly legible, and the scene appears to be an indoor ritual gathering with a large crowd.
