A standing man with long dark hair and a gold necklace stack, wearing a cream-white dhoti-style garment with a gold border and a deep red-maroon garland of flowers around his neck, raises a hand in greeting before a decorated shrine. Behind him a deity pair is adorned with garlands of yellow and orange marigolds and purple flowers, with a silver-hued deity murti of a seated figure in the centre. Bronze and brass pots, a kalasha-like vessel and a large set of metal plates with offerings fill the foreground, and blue drapes frame the left side. The setting suggests a puja or abhishekam at a temple shrine.
