A photograph of a smiling man in a rust-brown dhoti and wrap, wearing a red-and-white flower garland, gold ornaments, a gold-bead necklace and gold bangles, with a red bindi on his forehead. He is reaching up with both hands to adjust a green-and-gold cloth draped over a richly decorated deity murti, a standing figure in green garments with a crown and layered jewelled necklaces. The murti is framed by dense yellow, red and purple flower garlands, and a gilded ornate backdrop sits behind the man.
