A figure seen from behind in a sleeveless orange saffron garment with long dark hair and a multicoloured garland of yellow, white, red, green and purple flowers around the neck. The figure reaches toward a large golden deity murti with a tall ornate crown, a gold face and rich jewellery, tending its face or forehead with the hand. Gold ornamental arches, a gold-handled trident-like staff and garlanded gold decoration surround the murti, with a dark red curtain behind. The scene appears to be an image-worship or pooja setting in a temple-style hall.
