On the right, a man in an orange-and-saffron turban and robe, wearing long garlands of white jasmine and red roses, sits on a seat holding a silver staff topped with a ceremonial finial.

Before him, a woman in a white sari with a yellow blouse sits with palms pressed together, and a woman in an orange sari with a rudraksha mala sits beside her. A young man in white with a sacred thread and a rudraksha mala sits in front, and a bald man in an orange robe stands with hands folded behind them. On the left, a man in white clothes with an orange shawl sits with hands folded in prayer, and several onlookers in white and colourful shirts stand or sit along the back. A framed portrait on the wall shows a man in ornate gold jewellery, labelled with no readable text, and a white cooling unit stands in the background. The scene resembles a padapuja at a devotee's home.
