On the right, an older bald man sits bare-chested on an ornate gold-and-red throne, wearing orange cloth, rudraksha malas and a gold-coloured necklace, and holds pink flower petals while bowing his head. Beside him on a second gold throne sits a younger man in an orange dhoti and shawl with a flower garland, a red tilak on his forehead and a red headband, his hands resting on the armrest. To the left, another orange-clad man kneels near a brass kalasha pot, and a few seated devotees in white and orange watch from the floor. Below, pink rose petals are scattered on a small wooden stand with a dark offering block.
