A seated man in a maroon-red robe and turban, wearing a long garland of white jasmine, red roses and pink flowers, holds a silver trident staff upright in his right hand while his feet rest in a metal tray, where a devotee in white pours or offers milk. Around him, a kneeling woman in an orange-yellow sari with a long braid joins her hands, and shaven-headed men in orange and white garments with rudraksha malas attend nearby. A framed portrait of a deity with flower garlands sits on a small shrine behind, and a wall-mounted cooler and fans are visible. This appears to be a padapuja, a ritual foot-washing offering with milk and flowers.
