A figure with long dark hair in a rust-brown robe and a pink-and-white flower garland stands with hands folded in namaskar before a golden shrine. To the right, a deity murti is dressed in red and gold cloth and draped with heavy garlands of yellow and red flowers, with a golden bull (Nandi) vahana in front and a gold crown and ornaments visible. Behind is a backdrop painting of a tall gopuram temple tower. Gold leopard-print cushioned seats and a golden lion-form stand the left side. The figure's face is turned away, and the scene reads as a puja setting. Identity is not established from appearance.
