A standing man in a maroon embroidered sherwani with paisley gold work, a gold ornamental crown, and a gold pendant and beaded garland, holds a red flower garland while facing a row of seated deity murti figures with gold crowns and red floral garlands, draped in gold and red cloth. Behind them a red draped backdrop and white flower decoration frame the hall, and brass vessels and a tray with offerings sit on the floor at the left, beside a figure in saffron-toned dhoti. The scene resembles a puja or abhishekam with garland offering. Identity of the standing man cannot be confirmed from appearance; the cues present are the gold crown, red-brown ceremonial garb and garlands.
