A man in a maroon turban and rust-brown robe stands with palms pressed together in namaskar, smiling, beside a decorated wooden temple pillar or standard wrapped in white cloth and draped with yellow and white marigold garlands with red accents. He wears a red-and-white floral garland, rudraksha-style gold chains, a crown-like ornament on his turban and gold bangles. To his right, an attendant in an orange garment holds a tray of flowers and leaves near an oil lamp flame, with a copper vessel of flowers and hanging lights behind. Greenery surrounds the outdoor ceremonial setting.
