A grey stone-coloured statue of a female deity stands under a thatched palm roof, holding a long staff, with rudraksha beads on the neck and chest and a bead bracelet on the arm. In front of the statue, a man in a pink polo shirt leans forward with one hand on the statue's side, his head partly visible at the lower right. Behind them, a printed banner lists divine forms such as Ananda Parvathi, goddess of the supreme being, and Ananda Saraswati, goddess of wisdom, beside circular photographs of ornately dressed deity murti decorated with garlands.
