Behind him stands an ornate deity murti with a crown and gold peacock-like vahana, decorated with a multicoloured flower garland in red, yellow, green and white. Silver bowls, a brass oil lamp, a pile of wood sticks, mangoes and two orange cloth-wrapped offerings with rose petals lie on a white cloth in the foreground. Orange drapes hang in the background. Only the one priest is visible as a physical person. The priest's appearance does not clearly match a distinctive candidate, so identity is left unsure.2010-11-09
