Outdoor temple courtyard scene with a seated man in saffron-orange robes on a white cushion over a red-and-white throne, bare-footed, with a bald, shaved-headed man in white and orange kneeling beside him on a blue mat. A woman in a white sari with a gold border smiles and gestures with her hands, while a line of young people in white garments stands and sits behind her. Two men in orange and white stand at the right, one holding a camera. A carved stone shrine with a colourful deity murti decorated with garlands and a kalasha stands to the right, and a tiled wall and red curtain frame the background. The seated man in orange has long hair and a bearded face with distinctive presentation cues, but his appearance is not clear enough to confirm identity, so the seated figure is described by role only.
