A seated man in profile at left wears a patterned white-and-black headwrap, long dark braided hair falling to his back, a gold-bead necklace, and a rust-orange robe with a gold-trimmed waistband. He rests his right hand near his chin in a contemplative pose and wears red-orange beaded armbands. In front of him are silver ritual items: a silver mount with a small figure, silver vahana-style figures of an animal, and a silver shrine with a seated figure. Marigold garlands drape the silver pieces, and a brass oil lamp and a small brass bell sit in the foreground. Behind them, red-and-white striped temple walls rise, with a golden deity murti and a figure decorated with flowers in the background.
