A shaved-headed man in white dhoti and shawl with a yellow border stands barefoot with palms pressed together in namaskar, facing an open-sided stone shrine. Inside the shrine, a deity murti with an orange crown and garlands of white and orange flowers sits between two seated figures in purple and blue garments, backed by a turquoise drape and golden arch. Orange curtains hang from red pillars at the sides, and a small standing figure in purple stands to the right. The shrine sits on a grey stone platform carved with floral motifs, under a tiled roof with trees behind.
