A seated man in saffron-orange robes with a dark rudraksha mala around his neck sits on an ornate gold throne with red cushions, a small gold footstool beneath his bare feet. He extends his right hand to clasp the hand of a bald, older man standing to the left in orange dhoti and a teal-green shawl with a patterned border. Behind them a gilded arched shrine holds a deity murti with a red and orange crown, a trident and a bow, garlanded with yellow and purple flowers. Brass oil lamps stand on the left. The scene reads as an in-person darshan exchange at an open temple pavilion.
