A man seated on a blue-draped platform in front of a large colourful deity figure, a lion-headed form with a yellow mane and a painted turquoise torso in an embroidered gold garment. He wears a rust-orange dhoti or robe, a rudraksha mala draped across his chest and arms, and a thick white and red flower garland with multicoloured ribbons. He holds two silver staffs, smiles broadly, and has a tilak on his forehead. A dark buffalo-like figure sits beside him on the platform. The setting is nighttime, lit by flash, with the figure's bright ornaments and garlands prominent. The man's appearance shows several cues, including the rudraksha malas and orange clothing, which fit the page's claim that a person was present, so this is a person seated in person at a festival.
