A photograph of a man with long dark hair and a smiling expression adorning a silver-faced deity murti with flowers, garlands and jewelry. He wears a brown-orange dhoti-style garment, bangles, a white floral garland and a small microphone, and his hands are fixing a crown-like ornament on the deity's head. The murti wears a green silk garment, layered gold and colourful gemstone necklaces, and is surrounded by red roses, yellow marigolds, white jasmine strands and purple flower garlands. Behind, a dark drape and gold-patterned background complete the setting. The person is a single physical participant; the image shows a devotional decoration rite.

A green parrot perches on the person's shoulder near the hair. The person reaches out with a ringed hand to adorn the murtis, which are draped in large garlands of red roses, yellow marigolds and white flowers, and one wears a gold crown. Behind them, a purple and gold brocade cloth hangs, and a figure in white ritual dress stands at the left edge. The person's wrist wears a gold bangle and a beaded band, and a sacred thread is visible. The setting appears to be a temple puja, with flower decoration and devotional adornment as the main activity.2012-04-23 +2 copies
