A person with long dark hair, wearing a rust-brown sleeveless garment with a gold-bordered waist sash, leans into a garlanded deity murti, arms outstretched, adjusting a crown-like gold headdress on the image. Marigold, rose and green leaf garlands drape the figure and the golden canopy above. A green parrot perches on the person's shoulder. Behind, a painted backdrop shows a figure holding a lamp and a seated attendant in white turban. Gold ornaments and a teal cloth with pink silk below complete the arrangement.
