On the right, a decorated Ganesha murti sits on a red-draped platform, garlanded with marigolds and a red-and-white floral arrangement. In front, a man in white dhoti and shawl with a red border sits cross-legged on a mat, facing the murti, with an attendant nearby in a dark shirt. Several seated devotees in saris and a child occupy the foreground, viewed from behind. The scene suggests a Ganesha Chaturthi puja or satsang.
