A young shaven-headed priest in an orange dhoti and orange shawl stands at left, bare-chested with white vertical tilak on the forehead and white ash markings on the arms and chest, wearing rudraksha malas and a pendant. He raises one hand in blessing while holding a brass lamp with a flame in a small cup, beside a tall brass oil lamp stand. Behind him stands an ornate gold shrine arch framing garlanded deity murti with yellow and red flower garlands, gold crowns and jewelled ornaments. A gold-coloured kalasha-like pedestal and gold offering vessels sit in front.
