Outdoors beneath leafy trees with red berries, a shaved-headed man in a white dhoti and yellow shawl stands at left holding a brass bowl of offerings, facing a large greenish-bronze four-armed deity murti seated on a dark pedestal inside a white arched stone gateway. The murti holds implements in its hands and is seated atop a small figure. At right edge, a woman in a white sari with orange border stands near the arch. The setting appears to be a temple grounds, with the shawl and bowl.
