A standing figure in an orange-saffron dhoti and upper wrap with a rudraksha mala and a red-and-gold trim, bare-footed, with a white bandage on one forearm, raises a hand in greeting beside a decorated altar. Behind the figure, a golden arched backdrop frames two deity murtis seated on a red satin-draped platform, garlanded with red and yellow flowers and white beaded ornaments; the left murti wears a purple garment and the right a red one. To the right stands a painted wave backdrop, a white floor fan and a wall air conditioner. The person's appearance matches several visible cues: rudraksha mala, saffron clothing and a ceremonial bearing, so this is a person presence in person.
