A seated man in saffron-orange robes and a long rudraksha mala sits eyes closed on an ornate gold throne with red cushions, hands folded in his lap, with a red bindi on his forehead. In front of the throne, two priests in white dhotis sit on the floor: one, bald and bespectacled with gold garlands, raises a hand in gesture, while a younger man in white with a yellow shawl sits with his back to the camera, hands raised. Before them are silver trays of offerings, a bowl of red flowers, an apple and other fruit, and folded orange and yellow cloths. Behind the throne stand gold-framed decorations, yellow and purple draped fabric, garlands and a small deity murti in the background.
