A man in a red-orange dhoti and shawl, wearing a long garland of red and white flowers, gold-colored bead necklaces and a rudraksha-style mala, performs an aarti-like offering with a brass lamp and a small bell-handled vessel while smiling. He stands beside a large deity murti decorated with yellow marigolds, red flowers, gold ornaments and a green draped cloth, with a crown and jeweled headdress. A corrugated-roof pavilion, a brass cart and a red building form the background, and a second man is partly visible at left.
