A seated man in saffron-orange robes sits on an orange-cushioned throne in front of a temple shrine with a gold-and-blue draped deity figure, garlands of red and white flowers, and brass lamps and vessels. He holds a golden ceremonial staff while a woman in a magenta checked sari bows and touches his head in blessing. A shaved-headed man in white with an orange shawl stands at left beside a brass-and-table offering setup, and a woman in cream clothing with an orange shawl stands at right. The scene reads as darshan at a temple.
