A seated man in a red-and-maroon silk robe with gold border and a rudraksha-style beaded necklace sits on a red tiger-striped cushion, with a horizontal white sandal-paste mark on his forehead. He rests his hands on a large golden lion-head ornament while a devotee in a pink t-shirt with an orange-red sacred scarf printed with mantras kneels close, palms together and reaching toward it. Behind them an orange cloth hangs beside a golden deity image garlanded with marigolds and red-and-yellow flowers, and a dark red drape frames the left side. The devotee's role is devotee, and the seated man is a priest-like presiding figure in ritual dress.
