A smiling man stands at left with both palms raised beside his head, wearing a maroon and orange turban, an orange-red silk garment with a white sash, and a thick white and red flower garland falling to his waist. He wears gold bangles and a gold necklace. Behind him, a golden arched frame is decorated with red, yellow, white and purple flower garlands and surrounds a deity murti with an orange cloth, a bow and arrow, and a gold mount beside it. A gold lion-shaped throne stands at right. A purple logo appears at upper left. Pada puja is the album context, but the visible scene shows a garlanded devotee with an ornate deity arch and a golden seat.
