A barefoot man in a rust-orange dhoti and matching shoulder wrap walks across a dark stone slab in an open-air garden courtyard. He wears a multi-strand beaded necklace and a white forehead marking, and his hair is worn long and loose. Behind him stands a deity murti with a purple face and body, dressed in a purple cloth and decorated with a long garland of red, yellow and green flowers, set within a white arched niche with a blue backdrop. In front of the murti, a mound of red-orange offerings sits on a circular stone platform edged with black and yellow dots.
