A seated man in saffron and red robes sits on a low wooden seat with a leopard-print cushion before an ornate silver-and-gold arched shrine. Behind him stand two painted deity murti figures, one in red-and-gold with a crown and trident-like staff, the other in green with a crown and ornaments. He wears a tall red headdress marked with a white tilak, layered gold beaded necklaces, a large pendant, and bangles, and raises one hand in blessing. Brass oil lamps stand at the sides, and a tall stack of tasselled pompoms in red, orange, white, green and blue rises at the right. This appears to be a VIP or shrine setting at the camp.
