A smiling man in a brown silk garment with gold borders stands at left, waving his right hand, wearing a brown turban with a feather, a heavy gold necklace, a red and white flower garland and a blue bead tassel. Behind him is an arched shrine heavily decorated with marigold and rose garlands, with gilded deity murtis of a seated couple, one with a crown and orange garment, and a Shiva lingam draped in garlands in front. A smaller bronze deity murti with a flower garland stands at right, and yellow flower petals are scattered on the floor. Appearance-based cues suggest a person but the presentation is only partly distinctive, so identity is uncertain.
