A person seated on a silver-framed chair, wearing a rust-red robe, a dense rudraksha mala and ceremonial gold necklaces, holds a flaming camphor lamp in one hand and a silver bell in the other, with a silver-covered kalasha and brass plates on a patterned cloth before them. Behind, standing figures wear saffron and orange shawls and hold silver trident-topped staffs; devotees seated at left and centre sit with palms joined, some in orange and white.
