A man stands barefoot at night on a striped woven mat before a tiered stepped shrine lined with many small black deity murtis, most adorned with white and yellow garlands. Behind him a central shrine altar with a canopy draped in orange, yellow and purple cloth holds figures and flowers. He wears a dark red-orange robe over one shoulder, a black head covering, and multiple rudraksha malas around his neck and wrists, with hands raised in greeting and an open smiling expression. On the right, a small table holds framed photographs garlanded with flowers and a green and red cloth. A red throne-like seat with a silver base stands to the left, beside brass lamps and silver vessels.
