A seated man in an orange-saffron garment with a long swept-back hairstyle, wearing a red flower garland and a gold necklace, is raising a silver staff upward in an indoor room with a patterned rug. Around him, devotees kneel and sit: a man in white dhoti and shirt, a young man in orange with a rudraksha mala, a young man in white with a rudraksha mala, and women in yellow and multicoloured saris. A woman in bangles is washing or touching the seated figure's feet from a brass plate with an oil lamp and a small white cup. Wooden boxes of offerings sit beside the seated figure. A standing man with palms joined and an orange shawl watches in the background, and a few children sit on the left. Pink and yellow balloons hang in the room, and framed pictures are on the walls.
