A smiling man in a saffron-orange dhoti and shawl with gold borders and a beaded rudraksha-style mala stands on a small patterned rug, raising his right hand in greeting. Behind him is a large golden deity murti of Ganesha seated on a golden mouse vahana, wearing a gold crown and silver ornaments, draped with red, yellow, purple and white flower garlands. The gilded arched backdrop is framed by a blue cloth, a purple satin cloth covers the base, and dark drapes hang behind. The man has a red bindi and small gold earrings and wears a bracelet; the statue, not the man, is the deity.
