A man with long dreadlocks and a reddish-brown wrap garment stands bent forward at the base of large yellow-and-gold deity murti, applying offerings near a white swan figure. Garlands of yellow marigolds drape the statues, which hold a veena, a trident-like staff and other attributes. A blue cloth covers the platform with scattered petals beside the swan and a peacock-like figure. The setting is a tented shrine.
