A seated man in an orange-saffron robe and a white and red-blue-striped flower garland sits on a white-draped platform, both hands pressed to his forehead in devotion with eyes closed. In front of him is a gold tray holding a white conical mound. A trident-like staff leans on the left edge, and a deity murti draped in flower garlands and gold ornaments sits behind him. A second man in white clothes with a maroon shawl sits at the right edge, watching. Plain beige walls and a hanging green plant frame the scene.
