A smiling man in a rust-brown dhoti-style wrap and bare upper torso, with long hair tied back and a red-and-white garland draped over his shoulder, stands at a decorated deity murti. He reaches up with both hands to adorn the figure with a garland, its face and jewelled necklaces visible. The murti wears a green silk sari, a silver crown and layered gold and jewelled ornaments. Behind it are dense arrangements of red roses, yellow marigolds, white jasmine and purple flowers, with a gold-framed backdrop and green cloth at left. The man has a white forehead mark and a red bindi and wears gold bangles and a rudraksha-style bead band on the arm. Identity cannot be determined from appearance, so no a person candidate is asserted.
