A man in saffron-red robes stands centrally on a colourful striped mat in front of a tiered display of many deity murtis, each wearing marigold garlands. He wears a dark head covering with a red tilak, a multi-strand rudraksha mala and bangles, and his hands are raised in greeting with a broad smile. Behind him, a large floral-decorated palanquin or ratha-style shrine sits atop the steps. A red-cushioned throne stands to his left, and brass lamps and vessels are at the edges. Two framed portraits and a garlanded photo display sit to the right. The figure appears to match the a person description, with a head covering, rudraksha mala and saffron robes; the identification is uncertain. Only one person is physically present.
