The seated figure is a statue or life-size murti in orange robes and rudraksha mala, with a white forehead mark, draped in a red cloth, seated on a leopard-print cushion and golden lotus base. Behind it are garlands of orange, white and purple flowers, a red and gold brocade backdrop, and green leaves. The statue is not a living person, so the a person candidate appears only as a depiction. The devotee is shown from behind, so no face is visible.2018-05-27November 30 20182018-11-30November 18 20182018-11-18November 30 20182018-11-30Photo 11717400 +2 copiesA shirtless priest in an orange dhoti and shawl stands at left, holding a lit oil lamp aloft toward a gold-faced deity murti.

Garlands of red roses, yellow marigolds and white jasmine frame the murti, with green leaves hanging from above. White sacred ash marks cover the priest's arms and chest, and a rudraksha mala hangs from his wrist. Flower offerings and decorated metal items sit in the foreground.
