Brass oil lamps hang from the dark wall behind. Before him, on a low table, stand brass plates with flowers and offerings. Three people sit on the floor: a woman in white, a woman in an orange top with a rudraksha mala, and a man in white with a shawl. A woman in a red top is partly visible at the right edge.
