A photograph of a large painted Ganesha murti with a pink face, tusk, red and gold crown and red garment, its raised hand displaying yellow-tipped fingers. In the left foreground a bare-chested man in a rust-coloured dhoti stands with eyes closed and hands folded, wearing a long multicoloured flower garland of yellow, white and red blossoms and a tilak on his forehead; his long hair is tied back. The man has distinctive long hair and a garland but no clear presentation cues establishing identity, so he is described only by role as a devotee.
