A photograph of a standing man in a rust-red dhoti and matching shawl with a red-and-yellow garland and a gold beaded necklace, a red-and-gold turban on his head, waving at the camera. Beside him stands a large floral decorated deity murti pair on a stage, dressed in blue silk with gold borders, adorned with layered garlands in green, red, yellow and white, gold crowns and jewelry. A green and maroon curtain backdrop and a white air conditioner appear at the edges. The man's role and identity are not established by visible cues alone; he is presented as a devotee-presenter by the deities.
