A golden statue of a standing male deity murti, painted in gold with a red-and-orange dhoti and a red sash, is the centerpiece of the image. The figure wears a dark turban-like headdress with a red tikka, layered rudraksha malas and ornate gold necklaces, and raises one hand in blessing. In front of it a brass oil lamp burns with a visible flame. Behind the statue stand ornate gold-toned temple arches draped with red garlands, against a deep red velvet backdrop. This is a statue, not a living person, and appears to be a ritual setting with an oil lamp.
