Two men in saffron-orange robes stand on a dark marble floor. The man on the left, bare-shouldered and wearing a long white and red flower garland, holds a silver tray of flowers and fruit and a small floral offering while his eyes are closed. The man on the right, with long swept-back hair and a red-bordered orange shawl, stands beside him holding the tray. Red-orange offerings and a polka-dot base surround the murti, with trees and a wooden fence behind.
