A standing devotee in a white shirt and dark trousers leans forward to touch the seated figure's feet while another man in white reaches to the figure's head. Women in saris and children stand along the left, a woman with folded hands among them. Brass plates of offerings sit on the floor in front, and a striped mat covers the floor.
