Several devotees sit on the floor before him: a woman in orange sari, a woman in green with a long braid, a woman in red-and-white embroidered sari, and people in white ritual clothes holding hands together. Brass and gold lion-shaped figures flank the throne, with offerings of fruit and a tray of food in the foreground. A small pillar and a desk with books and a tablet sit to the side. The pavilion has yellow fabric walls and a standing fan.
