Outdoor photo beside a white-washed compound wall with green creeper foliage. A dark stone deity murti stands on a low pedestal, its arms raised and holding objects. Four men attend it: two hold orange umbrellas over the scene, one in a red sleeveless top and orange dhoti, another in orange dhoti and shawl with a watch, and a man in a white shirt and white dhoti with glasses stands bowing before the murti. A fourth attendant in white, with a shaved-looking head, holds a grey umbrella. Orange marigolds lie at the base. Four people are visible, none clearly identifiable as a person from appearance; the bowing man in white is not a probable candidate.
