Outdoor temple-style ritual display on a paved courtyard with palm trees behind. A bare-chested man in orange dhoti and orange shawl stands at the center, facing the shrines, apparently in prayer. Behind him are several large decorated deity murti on raised platforms, each under a multicoloured umbrella: a red-faced fierce deity with a golden crown and green-and-red garland, a figure seated under a shell-decorated arch, a standing figure in gold ornaments, and smaller figures on red and gold draped pedestals. A golden peacock and a golden vahana stand near the right group. At left, a painted portrait of a man with a red-and-gold turban and gold necklaces sits on a golden panel, with a small framed photo and offering items on a gold-embroidered table below.
