A festival scene under a decorated tent with pink and white draping. Large colourful deity murti stand in the background, including a multi-armed goddess with a trident and a lion mount, flanked by ornate yellow halos and garlands, with a ganesha figure at the left edge. In the centre, a seated man in a red-orange garment and garland sits on an ornate silver throne-like seat, with silver vessels and an oil lamp before him. At the right, a standing man in a rust-brown robe holds a white fan or whisk toward the seated figure, while the lower foreground shows the backs of seated devotees in orange and white head coverings. The scene resembles a puja or aarti before deity murti.
