In the foreground a bald man in saffron robes with a mala stands with his back to the camera, holding a silver vessel. To the left, two bearded men in orange and saffron clothing, one with long matted hair and garlands, stand with hands together. Beside them a man in white dhoti with bare upper body stands near the ornate golden throne. On the right, a large golden throne with red cushions stands before a deity murti with garlands, a trident and decorated robes. Golden canopy arches with tassels hang above, and a golden palanquin-like seat is visible in the background, with a spiritual tent setting.
