A man in a cream turban with a pale shawl draped over one shoulder and down his back walks forward in a temple shrine hall, wearing a maroon and red dhoti with a white inner cloth, a red sash and a beaded rudraksha-style mala. He has clenched fists and a plain bare-chested torso with bangles. Behind him stands a richly adorned golden deity murti with garlands of yellow and red flowers, an orange cloth draped over its shoulder, and a green-and-gold backdrop. A brass oil lamp stands at left and marigold garlands hang along the platform edge. Whether this man is a person is uncertain from appearance alone.
