Two large painted Ganesha statues sit outdoors under a corrugated metal shelter with trees behind them. The statue on the left is seated on a pink and yellow lotus base and wears an orange turban and a white dhoti with a patterned border; it holds a rope and a modak-like object. The statue on the right wears a red and purple turban, a multicoloured blouse, gold armlets and a white dhoti with a red-brown border, raising one hand in blessing. Both figures are splashed with pink, orange and green paint. Orange plinths support them, with a small green and red deity murti at the base of the right statue. No people are visible, and the scene shows deity murtis rather than a satsang.

A large seated clay murti of Lord Ganesha dominates the frame, painted pale pink-grey with gold ornaments, a gold crown, a white tilak and a yellow-and-red forehead mark. Its trunk curls toward the belly, and it holds a golden modak-bowl and an axe-like gold implement in its upper hands while the lower hands show a blessing gesture. It wears orange and green draped garments and a gold chest ornament, and sits on a dark pedestal beside a magenta cushion. To the left, several sannyasis in orange robes and orange head wraps and rudraksha malas stand near the statue. A tented ceiling with strings of coloured lights and a brass lamp stand with a flame on the right complete the setting.

A gilded decorative panel stands at the left edge of the frame. No living people are visible.
