A photograph of a priest seen from behind, wearing a maroon turban, a maroon dhoti with gold border, a multicoloured beaded garland and a gold armlet, with long dark matted hair falling down his back. Beside him stands a golden deity murti adorned with silver jewellery, a crown with jewelled finials, yellow and red flower garlands and a purple cloth. In the foreground a gold five-headed serpent hood canopy stands above red roses, white jasmine and pink flower garlands. The background is a gold ornamental backdrop. The priest's face is not visible, so the a person field is unsure.
