A smiling man stands at an altar holding a lit oil lamp in his right hand, its flame bright at the centre of the frame. He wears a brown-orange wrap over bare shoulders, a thick layered garland of white and pink flowers, gold ceremonial beads over rudraksha malas, gold bangles and rings, and a red bindi. A green parrot perches on his shoulder. Behind him, a golden ornate backdrop frames a deity murti dressed in an orange cloth with flower decorations. Floral drapes in red, yellow and purple sit at the left edge. A small lapel microphone is visible near his face.
