A photograph taken at night outdoors shows a long-haired man in an orange saffron robe seated on a red-cushioned wooden seat with gold-finished posts, turned toward a decorated deity murti. The murti sits on a yellow and blue ornate throne with gold embroidery, wearing jewelled ornaments, a red garment and a pink flower, with green grass blades placed beside it. A standing man in white clothes holds a small object in his hands near the seat. A partially visible person in white and orange sits at the left edge, and another person's head appears at the lower right corner. The setting appears to be a courtyard with red tiled floor.
