A seated figure in saffron-orange robes with a long rudraksha mala and long swept-back dark hair sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne (peetha) in a temple pavilion, hands folded in lap. Around the throne, devotees in white garments with yellow shawls kneel with hands joined in anjali, including a woman with light hair at left and a woman in white at lower right. In front stand brass dishes of sweets and offerings; behind the throne is a carved stone deity murti in a niche, with fruit on a wooden stand. Red curtains and pillars frame the hall, consistent with a padha puja (padapuja) gathering.
