A seated figure in a red-orange turban and saffron-orange robe sits on an ornate gold throne in a red-draped room, with a brass oil lamp to the left. Around him, a large group sits on the floor in white ritual clothes, many with red and orange shawls and rudraksha-style necklaces. Several hold brass plates with flowers and offerings, and a tripod-mounted camera stands behind them. The scene resembles a devotional gathering or puja with devotees seated in a semicircle before the throne.
