Outdoor temple courtyard scene under a tin-roofed pavilion. A bearded man with long hair, eyes closed and smiling, stands with palms pressed together in namaskar, wearing a rust-brown dhoti-style robe, a dark rudraksha mala, a gold ceremonial necklace and a long yellow-and-red marigold garland. Before him on the left is a large gilded deity murti or vahana with a golden bird head, draped in a golden cloth and garlanded, standing on a red-draped platform with brass lamps. Behind, several people in orange and saffron saris and a green sari, and a priest in white, stand in attendance. Colourful umbrellas with fringed tassels and rangoli designs decorate the ground.
