A smiling man wearing a red-brown dhoti-style garment and gold waist cloth, with a large multicolour garland of white, orange, blue and pink flowers draped around his neck and a gold-brown armband on his upper arm, stands in an orange-walled shrine room beside an open grey cabinet. Inside the cabinet are framed pictures, garlands, small framed photos and a lit oil lamp. Behind him a framed painting of a seated figure in pink robes hangs garlanded above the cabinet, and a gold-framed picture of deities is on the upper left wall. To the left, several young men in saffron-orange robes with white forehead markings and rudraksha beads stand near a wooden door. An elderly white-bearded man in a white shirt stands at the right edge looking into the cabinet.
