A devotee in an orange-red headwrap and orange-red sleeveless garment with a gold-bordered waistcloth bends over a golden deity murti heavily decorated with flower garlands in red, pink, yellow, white and green. A red flower garland hangs over the shoulder, and gold bangles are worn on the wrist. The murti has gold ornaments and strands of rudraksha beads and green-stone pendants. Gold ornamental surfaces and a gold crown-like head piece are visible in the upper right, and the scene appears to be a temple abhishekam or decoration setting. The person's identity cannot be confirmed from appearance, so the figure is described by role as a devotee.
