Two devotees in white dhotis kneel with palms pressed together in namaskar before a seated figure on a red-draped throne (peetha). The seated figure wears an orange-yellow top, a yellow turban, and beaded necklaces, with hands raised in blessing. The throne has a leopard-print cushion and red garlands with pink and orange flowers, and a floral vase sits beside it. Two brass oil lamps (diyas) with lit flames flank the scene against deep red velvet curtains, with a small gold-trimmed offering box and red mat in front. The seated figure is a statue or depiction, not clearly a physical person, and there is no firm visual basis to identify it.
