A photograph of a temple shrine with a standing man in a rust-red dhoti and a bare upper body, wearing a long white and beaded necklace, with one arm raised and his eyes lowered. Behind him is a pink Ganesha murti draped in gold cloth and yellow marigold garlands, beside a richly embroidered goddess murti in pink and gold. A pale green pumpkin-like offering sits on a tray in front, next to a small rat vahana and a white bull or animal figure garlanded with yellow flowers. A brass oil lamp with a flame burns at the right edge. Yellow and white decorations frame the scene.
