A central figure in a dark-red garment and white-and-red flower garland sits on a red cloth, holding up a large silver trident, while a woman in red and a woman in white hold a flame toward the trident base. Behind them, framed pictures of a saffron-clad figure and a deity murti are garlanded. Several seated devotees in white or orange robes, one with a tray of red offerings and one beside a basket of bananas, surround the scene. Gold curtains hang behind.
