A seated figure in an orange-saffron robe and orange turban sits on an ornate gold throne carved with a lion head, draped with a long red and yellow marigold garland, a gold necklace and an arm band. Around the throne, colourful flower arrangements in red, yellow, purple and white decorate the backdrop. Below, several devotees sit on the floor around silver plates and bowls of flowers and offerings during a pada puja; one man in white in the foreground pours from a vessel, a woman in a blue sari presses her hands together, and a young boy in gold clothes sits near a man with a rudraksha mala. A brass oil lamp stands on the right, and a studio light and camera tripod are visible at left. Rows of silver offering vessels fill the foreground.
