A seated man in saffron-orange robes with a shaved head sits on a raised dais performing a puja, holding a small silver vessel and a lamp-like object in his hands. Behind him, a golden ornate throne-like frame and a deity murti draped in green and red garlands stand before a tall lingam-shaped form wrapped in marigold and yellow flower garlands. Two larger gilded deity statues with ornaments stand on the right, and a brass oil lamp stands in the foreground beside a small framed photograph, flowers and a placard. A small blue-clad statue stands at the far right edge. The setting resembles a temple-style shrine with floral decoration.
