A man in a white dhoti with a gold border kneels forward at the foot of a silver-framed throne, his dark hair falling forward. A second man in saffron-orange robes and a long rudraksha mala sits smiling behind him, with a white horizontal tilak and a red dot on his forehead. He holds a handful of yellow turmeric or flower offering, and a bowl of the same yellow offering sits beside them. Ornate silver lion statues flank the throne, and the wall behind is gold and blue.
