A man in profile stands with palms pressed together in namaskar before a garlanded deity murti set in an arched shrine. He wears a gold bead necklace, a gold armlet and gold bangles, with a dark silk garment with a brocade border in orange and maroon tones. His hair is swept back into a knot. Behind him a black stone murti is draped in green and yellow cloth and framed by red, yellow and green garlands and a white arch. The sign in the corner is a logo and the photo is taken outdoors among trees.
