A shaven-headed sannyasi in orange robes bends forward in worship before a shrine of a deity murti with gold and silver tones. Behind him, a dark stone image of a seated deity rests atop a tall golden kalasha draped in multicoloured flower garlands, with a bronze peetha in front and a seated figure in saffron cloth below. Two large deity figures stand behind, one wearing a red crown and gold ornaments and the other in green and pink garments. Brass oil lamps line both sides of the stone platform, and a red-and-white railing and orange cloth hang at the right. The scene is an outdoor temple shrine with tall carved stone pillars and trees beyond.
