A seated figure in an ornate golden throne with red cushions sits on a raised stage before a painted backdrop of Varanasi ghats and temple spires. The seated figure wears saffron-orange robes, a rudraksha mala, and has hair pulled back, a person depiction in person; a golden trident stands beside the throne. Around the stage, devotees sit cross-legged on blue carpet: a child in white with hair in a ponytail, men in white kurtas with red shawls, and women in red-and-white saris and saffron wraps, several holding brass plates of flowers and offerings. A woman with light hair in a saffron shawl sits near the throne writing or holding a small object. Purple and pink lighting and a pink lotus-like prop frame the scene.
