A man in orange sannyasi-style cloth with a heavy gold bead necklace stands beside a large clay Ganesha murti, adorning it with jewelry and attention. The murti has an orange turban, a red-and-white beaded necklace, gold trim and a white dhoti-like base, and it holds a dark wooden ankusha-like staff. Green leafy trees and a golden arch frame the scene, with red and orange tassels hanging above. A partially visible person in orange stands at the right and another person is seen at the lower left edge. The man is positioned as a priest preparing the deity, and his face is downcast in focus. Ganesh Chaturthi-style worship is suggested by the Ganesha murti being decorated outdoors.
