A seated figure in a red-maroon robe with a gold border sits on an ornate gold throne in a temple shrine, raising one hand in blessing, wearing a red turban with a jewelled ornament, a rudraksha mala, and bangles. Three priests kneel around the throne: one in white ritual dress with white markings on his forehead and arms holds a lit oil lamp, another with a shaved head and orange-brown garment holds a lamp, and a figure in orange sits with fruit offerings before the throne. Brass bells and hanging oil lamps hang on a dark backdrop, and a painted deity figure in green and orange stands at the right edge. The setting suggests a puja with aarti.
