In the foreground, a young priest in a red-orange dhoti and gold-beaded rudraksha mala holds a silver tray of pink petals and wears a white headpiece. Behind him, a taller figure with long dark hair, a crown-like headpiece, gold necklaces and a red shawl stands at the threshold. Inside, a gilded shrine with a white-and-gold canopy holds a deity murti, and a priest in white dhoti attends it. The shoulder-level frame carries a copyright credit at the bottom.
