A man in a yellow turban with a jewelled ornament, bare-chested and wearing a white dhoti with gold borders, stands before a decorated shrine. He wears a dark rudraksha-style mala with gold beads and a gold pendant, and holds a round brass plate of white grains toward a raised altar. Behind him three deity murtis sit on a decorated pedestal under floral garlands with multicoloured bunting, and a kumkum kolam is drawn on the stone platform. The scene reads as a devi alankaram puja with offerings.
