Night-time temple scene under a pink and white canopy strung with multicoloured fairy lights. A bare-chested man with long dark hair stands on striped red-and-white steps, wearing a thick garland of yellow and white flowers with red accents, a brown dhoti, bangles and a beaded necklace, facing left toward a golden deity murti. Behind him are brass oil lamps on stands, a tiered white-and-pink floral arrangement, a golden lion-like figure and a standing deity statue in orange drapery. A decorated utsava murti stands at the right edge. The adorned man has long swept hair and distinctive ornaments, but his identity is uncertain from appearance.
