A seated figure in an orange saffron robe and rudraksha mala sits on a white draped chair before a shrine with a golden-framed deity murti, flanked by a gilded lamp stand and offerings. The seated figure has long swept-back hair and a crown-like ornamentation is not visible; the person is shown in orange clothing with a rudraksha mala, extending a hand toward a devotee. A kneeling man in white with an orange shawl bows with folded hands at their feet, and a garland of flowers rests on a footstool. Around them, men in white dhotis and orange shawls stand and watch, one in an orange robe with a yellow shawl, and a bald man in white with orange shawl stands at right. Orange and red mats cover the floor and orange drapes frame the open pavilion.
