Two men stand in front of a Ganesha murti in a temple shrine, with a red-and-gold draped backdrop, golden pillars and yellow flowers at the base. The deity is white with a red and gold crown and red garments. In the foreground, a man seen from behind wears a rose-red silk top with long dark hair and a receding hairline. On the right, a man with long dark hair and a bare chest wears an orange-red wrap over one shoulder, a gold-toned necklace and gold ornaments, and presses his palms together in anjali. A Ganesha puja at the shrine appears in progress. The man on the right has distinctive orange ceremonial clothing and long hair, which could match the a person cues, so the identity is uncertain.
