He wears a thick garland of red roses, white flowers and pink blossoms, and rudraksha-style beaded bracelets on his wrists. He smiles as he lowers his hands toward a silver tray held near the murti, apparently offering or performing a puja. The setting appears to be a temporary shrine with a metal roof and loudspeaker.
