A seated man in a rust-red saffron-toned dhoti and shawl sits on an ornate gold throne with leopard-print cushions and golden lion armrests. He wears a dark turban-style headwrap, a red-orange tilak, multiple rudraksha malas across his chest and arms, and a gold necklace. Behind a brass oil lamp hanging from a chain, a bell, and string lights, two bare-chested priests in sacred threads attend a puja. One priest, at lower left, arranges flowers and offerings on a silver tray in front of the throne, with a marigold and red flower arrangement in the foreground. The setting is a dark temple-like hall with gold relief panels behind the throne. This is a satsang-style ritual scene.
