A seated figure in orange-saffron robes and a red flower garland holds a silver ceremonial staff with a rounded top, smiling as devotees gather around. Long dark hair is swept back, with gold earrings and beaded bracelets on the arms. Behind, several standing young men in orange and saffron cloths with rudraksha malas press palms together in namaste. Seated devotees in white dhotis and saris, one man in a white shirt and striped top, bow with folded hands; a woman in a white sari with a red border leans forward. Brick walls and a green-striped mat setting suggest a simple hall. Appearance-based label: a person, seated and receiving devotees.
