A man in white dhoti and shawl stands before a decorated shrine, wearing a gold necklace and a red-and-white flower garland, with both hands raised in a blessing gesture. Behind him stand two large deity murtis, one with a crown and one wearing a crown and white-and-red sari-style dress, both draped with garlands in yellow, orange, red and purple. The shrine is framed by stone pillars hung with yellow and orange floral garlands and red drapes, with brass oil lamps and flower-filled pots on the floor. The scene appears to be a ceremonial darshan or puja setting; no other people are visible.
