A large orange-and-red Ganesha murti with a golden crown and turban-like headdress, decorated with garlands of yellow marigolds, white flowers and red-pink blooms, stands at left. A bare-chested man with long dark hair and a beard, wearing a red-brown dhoti, a red and white flower garland, a gold armlet and gold bangles, faces the murti and holds a silver tray with banana leaves and offerings, apparently an offering to the deity. The setting is an open-sided shed with a corrugated metal roof, red steel beams and green foliage behind. The man wears distinctive ceremonial adornments, but his appearance alone does not clearly establish an identity, so the candidate is marked unsure.
