A seated man in a black turban and orange-red robe sits on an ornate gold-trimmed brown throne with a golden lion-head armrest, wearing red rudraksha malas and a gold chain. He extends his hand toward a white-clad devotee kneeling before a large silver bowl of water on a gold stand, as a standing woman in red and pink saris bends forward. Several people in orange and white robes and a man in a pink shirt with an orange lanyard press their palms together in the crowded hall. The scene looks like a padapuja with the devotee washing feet.
