Indoor temple-hall scene with a seated figure in saffron-orange robes and an orange turban at lower left, wearing a gold necklace and extending a hand to a devotee who is bending forward to receive contact. Behind, a priest in saffron dhoti and orange shawl with rudraksha mala stands beside a white-clad woman. Standing men in white shirts and white dhotis, some with yellow or pink shawls, watch and clap. A decorated deity murti with marigold and yellow garlands stands at upper left, and red curtains hang on the back wall. The figure at lower left shows distinctive saffron attire, a turban and a gold necklace, but the appearance is not clear enough to confirm identity, so the seated figure is treated as unsure.
