Behind him are deity murtis decorated with garlands in orange, yellow and white, a golden arched frame and a brass oil lamp on a stand. Two small bells hang at the upper left. A woman in the lower left and a child in pink in the foreground watch from the front rail. The appearance-based label is a person, based on the saffron robes, long beaded necklace and ornate ceremonial adornment, and he is performing a Nandi garlanding within the shrine.
