A man in saffron-orange robes with long swept-back dark hair and a large pink-and-white flower garland stands smiling beside a gilded shrine, holding a lit oil lamp in his hands. Behind him a golden deity murti with a tall crown and ornate jewellery sits on a gold throne draped in red and purple cloth, decorated with yellow and red flower garlands. To the left, an assistant in white and yellow clothing and another in orange robes with folded hands attend, near brass lamps and a flower-decorated offering. Green foliage shows through an open arch. Presumed a person: the long swept-back hair, saffron robes and garland are visible cues; the candidate is physically present and the lamp is held in aarti at the temple reopening.
