His long dark hair is swept back. Behind him stands a grey stone deity murti with a beaded necklace, and a palm tree rises beside. Marigold and yellow flower garlands drape an ornate brass object at left, and loose flower petals scatter the platform. A second man in orange clothing sits at the lower right edge.
