A seated figure in orange robes with an orange-and-gold patterned dhoti sits on a red-cushioned golden throne, extending a hand over an offering. Silver thalis on a gold tray hold red apples, pink lotus flowers, green leaves, white flowers and small kalasha-like vessels. Around the tray, a man in white dhoti with a gold necklace, a woman in a white sari, and a young man in a white dhoti with a gold garland sit cross-legged.

A seated man in saffron-orange dhoti and shawl, with white jasmine garland, sandalwood-paste forearm bands and a white-and-red forehead mark, sits on an ornate gold and red throne and smiles while holding a black staff. Before him a woman in white and orange clothing pours offerings from a plate, and a woman in a red saree sits at a microphone. Silver trays hold fruit, flowers and offerings, and a man's head is visible at lower right. Garlands of flowers lie on the floor.
