A stage event before a blue and tan painted mountain backdrop with brass lamps and a gold-and-flower-decorated peetha throne. A standing man in a red turban, red sleeveless top and red dhoti, wearing a multi-strand orange-and-white flower garland, smiles and hands a folded paper to a kneeling devotee in cream and white ceremonial dress with a long braid. The devotee bends forward, hands raised in reverence, beside a trident and a bird-topped lamp stand. At the right edge a bald man in white holds a bag.
