A seated man with long, swept-back dark hair wears a saffron-orange garment, a gold necklace and a gold chain, and sits on a low wooden platform before a woman kneeling in a red and gold sari who holds his hands in a devotional gesture. Behind them stand deity murti adorned with garlands of orange and yellow flowers, and a tiered arrangement of bananas, fruit and a kalasha-like offering stands in the middle. Brass oil lamps, bowls and a small pot sit on the altar in front. Two men in orange shawls stand at left, and a woman in white watches while holding a camera. Several people are visible, with the seated devotee and the kneeling woman as the central pair.
