Two men in saffron-orange robes stand at left; the one at centre holds his hands together in a namaskar gesture while the other holds a lit oil lamp. Behind them, a gilded deity murti pair seated on a maroon draped seat is decorated with yellow and multicoloured marigold garlands arranged in an arch. Brass oil lamps stand on either side, and a gilded vessel sits before the shrine. At lower left, a framed portrait labelled with a photo credit shows a man with long hair beneath a banyan tree, ringed by white and orange flower garlands. A small blue figure with a white garland appears near the base. The image is a photograph of a shrine puja.
