A seated figure in saffron-orange robes with a white-and-pink flower garland sits on a raised orange cushioned seat in a small room with floral floor covering. A devotee in orange kneels before the seated figure, washing or offering at a brass plate of flowers and a tray, while another devotee in white shirt and folded hands bends forward. Standing attendants in saffron and orange robes with rudraksha malas surround them. Women in white and purple saris stand nearby, one photographer in white shirt holds a camera. Framed pictures and a deity image appear on the walls, and a metal stand holds a lamp fixture near the seat.
