A man in an orange saffron robe with a multi-coloured marigold garland speaks into a microphone on a stand before a richly decorated shrine. He wears a light cream headband with a gold ornament, and a gold chain and bead necklace. Behind him, a golden arched frame holds a large deity murti and a companion figure seated on a lion-like vahana, surrounded by yellow, red, purple and white flower garlands. A gold kalasha stands at the centre, and brass oil lamps flank the shrine. A brass lamp with a flame sits in the foreground. The visible man has no distinctive a person cues beyond a saffron robe and headband, so identity is uncertain.
