A shirtless man with long dreadlocked hair and a short beard stands at left, wearing a saffron-brown dhoti-style cloth, a red-and-white flower garland, and a red thread armband. He reaches toward a large white-clad deity murti with yellow skin, multiple raised arms holding weapons, a white crown and a gold necklace, decorated with white and red flower garlands. The murti stands inside an open-sided shed with a corrugated roof and a red-trimmed structure behind, with painted red and blue panels at upper right. Two people are visible.
