A photograph taken from a low angle of a person in an orange saffron garment with long dark hair, standing at left and holding a lit oil lamp toward a richly decorated deity murti. The murti, seated on a throne-like base, wears a silver crown, a trident held in one hand, and a green and gold sari-like cloth on the seated female figure; both are draped in multicoloured garland strands of white, yellow, red, green and pink. A large canopy with orange, red, green and white panels shelters the murti under a cloudy sky, with trees behind. The person's face is not visible clearly enough to determine identity, so the a person candidate is uncertain; a single standing figure is present.
