A bearded man in an orange-brown turban and orange-brown shawl stands with palms pressed together in namaste, smiling, before a large yellow-faced deity murti with long black hair and an ornate white and gold embellished garment. He wears gold armlets, bangles and a long gold necklace layered with pink, white and red flower garlands. The murti holds a raised yellow-orange arm and wears a red-and-gold sari. Its long yellow and pink garland hangs at the right side of the frame. A white and gold decorated canopy and a corrugated metal roof sit above, and a small hanging ornament is at the left edge. Possibly a Devi puja setting, with a figure of the murti visible behind the devotee.
