A man with long dark hair, a beard and a red tilak stands beside a large painted deity murti of Durga-like goddess with a yellow face, red-rimmed eyes and a white ornate crown, holding a trident-like staff. He wears a maroon-brown robe, multiple gold ornamental necklaces and a heavy gold pendant, with a pink lotus-bud garland and white jasmine and red rose garlands draped over his shoulders. He reaches toward a silver tray of offerings held by a hand from below, possibly for an arati or puja. A red cloth covers the tray and a silver mask is visible behind the murti under a tin roof.
