A seated figure in a saffron-orange and gold-bordered shawl, with a white flower garland, rudraksha-style beads and gold jewellery, holds up a silver trident as a ritual is performed in a red-walled room with a stone fireplace. Shaved-headed priests in saffron and white dhotis sit on white cloth, one clasping hands in prayer, and a priest in white stands behind with a conch-like ornament. Young devotees in white kurtas and a woman in a patterned blouse hold flower petals or offerings, while an older man in white folds his hands at right. A woman in an olive shawl stands by the fireplace beside a carved stone deity panel and framed artwork, with brass bowls and a kalasha-like vessel on the mantel.
