Seated on white cloth before him are devotees: a man in white with an orange shawl, a young man in orange robes with hands folded, and a man in white with a yellow vest, all with palms together. In front lie fruit offerings including oranges, pomegranates, pineapples and sweets on banana leaves and trays. A wall mirror, a floral-cushioned sofa and a cooler are visible. Cardboard boxes of books sit on a table at left.
