A seated figure in a rust-red and maroon robe with a red-and-orange turban and white-and-red floral garland receives a padapuja, as a devotee in a white shirt kneels at his feet with a brass plate of flower petals and a lit oil lamp in front. A bare-chested sannyasi in saffron-red cloth, with shaved head and rudraksha mala, bends over the feet. Around them, men in white shirts and dhotis stand with palms joined, one holding a small child in a pink outfit, and a woman in a white sari kneels beside the plate. A brass trident stands near the wall, and framed pictures hang behind. A photographer on the left holds a camera. The scene is a home interior with a clock and window.
