A man with long dark hair, wearing an orange saffron shawl over his shoulders and a red bindi, sits on an orange cushioned throne-like seat in an outdoor temple setting. A devotee in a pink-striped shirt bows with his head pressed against the seated man's lap while the seated man rests a hand on his back. A person in a white kurta on the left reaches toward the devotee, and another in a white kurta with a yellow shawl stands behind. A woman in a red-and-pink patterned top looks on at right. Behind them are brass ritual vessels, a plate with offerings, a kalasha-style brass pot, red floral garlands and a stone platform with carved ornamentation.
