A barefoot man in a dark green silk dhoti and matching shawl with gold border walks across a stone-floored temple hall in front of a large gilded shrine. Behind him, two painted deity murtis stand on a purple-draped platform, one in orange with a trident and the other in red with a crown, both garlanded with red and orange flowers. Golden arches, green curtains and a carved stone pillar frame the scene, with a small seated figure in yellow on the altar below. The man wears a red tilak on his forehead and has his hair tied back. No readable event text is visible.

The devotee has a shaved head and wears an orange saffron wrap over the shoulder and orange loose trousers.

Marigold and yellow-purple flower garlands hang from the figures. Below, a smaller seated figure in orange with a garland sits on a platform, and a white cloth draped over the altar. Brass oil lamps, bowls and a small incense trail sit on the stone ledge in front, with carved stone pillars to the sides.
