A photograph of a standing man in a white dhoti with a red-and-gold shawl draped over his shoulder, raising his right hand in a blessing gesture beside a gilded ornate ceremonial seat. Behind him is a deity murti decorated with a multicoloured floral garland of marigolds and white flowers, silver ornaments and a crown, with a golden arch framing the scene, hanging gold bells and blue, red and purple tassels, and a navy curtain behind. The man wears a gold necklace, bracelets and a gold arm band, with a red kumkum mark on his forehead.
