A photograph taken outdoors under a tent-like canopy on a bright day. In the foreground a man with long dark hair, wearing a long-sleeved orange-saffron jacket and an orange-saffron dhoti-style wrap, stands with his back to the camera and reaches toward a bronze deity murti on a wooden platform. The bronze figure stands beside a gold-coloured animal figure. Behind it, a gilded ornate palanquin or ratha-style canopy is decorated with red and multicoloured flower garlands. A grey-haired man in a dark jacket and grey trousers walks in the background near a white pole. The scene shows a murti being prepared or installed.
