A priest seen from behind, bare-chested with a white dhoti and gold-bordered shawl and a white head cloth, raises both arms to adorn a deity murti in a gilded shrine arch. The image is a deity form with a decorated face mask and a shivalinga-like element, draped in red roses, white and yellow flower garlands. Gilded lion and makara-style carvings frame the shrine, with a small flower offering and a seated gold figure to the right and painted cloth banners hanging above in the background.
