A shrine scene at a temple altar. A devotee in an orange saffron robe stands at right, reaching toward a large deity murti decorated with yellow and orange marigold garlands, a red-and-gold crown and a red necklace, with a peacock-feather fan behind. A second orange-robed devotee kneels with hands folded at left. Brass oil lamps, kalasha pots, flowers and a small blue figure sit on the stone platform, with a gold arch and red curtains framing the shrine. No face-based identification is made, and the scene shows only devotees and the deity murti, so no a person candidate is established by appearance.
