Outdoor-style stone steps lead up to a raised golden seat where a figure in saffron-orange cloth sits in meditation under a tiered orange-and-red umbrella. Before him a priest in a red-orange turban and bare upper body, with an orange shawl, stands holding a silver vessel and bell over a row of small yellow pots with leaves and flowers, beside a small fire and a figure of a deity murti on the left. Behind them a seated audience in white garments with folded hands and beads sits in rows. The setting is a modern hall with dark patterned glass. The seated figure's appearance is not clearly identifiable as a person from the image alone.
