A photograph of a person standing smiling on a stage beside a large golden Ganesha murti seated on a golden mouse vahana, set in a gilded arched niche with a magenta drape. The Ganesha murti wears a silver face, a gold crown and multiple garlands of red, yellow and white flowers. The standing person wears an orange-and-gold ritual dhoti and shawl, a red rudraksha-style mala, a gold necklace and gold armbands, with a red bindi. Rows of small silver bowls filled with food offerings sit in front of the murti on the floor, alongside a few fruits on a purple cloth-covered platform. A white pedestal fan stands at left and a dark curtain fills the background. The page's Ganesh Chaturthi context indicates a festival offering, though the image itself shows only the decorated murti and offerings.
