A man sits cross-legged with palms pressed together in namaskar before a gold-coloured kalasha-style vessel draped in yellow cloth, with a small deity murti garlanded with white flowers on the left. He is bare-chested with a white cloth wrapped at the waist and a rudraksha-style mala at his neck, wearing glasses and a wristwatch. Behind him are red velvet drapes, a vase of orange and white flowers, a silver tray and a blue-lidded vessel. The image appears to be a screenshot from an online livestream.

He wears white dhoti cloth, a long rudraksha mala with beads, neck ornaments and vibhuti marks on his arms and forehead. In front of him are a large arrangement of red, orange, yellow and white roses and chrysanthemums, a gold puja plate with fruit, a brass lamp stand and a glass jar. Behind him, ornate deity murtis in gold and yellow silk sarees and red garlands stand on a green-draped altar, with a microphone on a stand to the left. The scene suggests a puja offering of flowers and abhishekam items.
