A barefoot man in a saffron-red dhoti and draped shawl with gold borders stands on a small patterned rug, arms raised with palms open in a greeting gesture. He wears a rudraksha mala necklace, orange bracelets and a red bindi, with long dark hair swept back. Beside him stands a golden peacock-shaped carriage and palanquin, decorated with a golden arch and a crest. The carriage holds a deity murti in orange and white with a trident and flag, framed by a large arch of red, yellow and purple flower garlands with green satin drapes. A dark blue curtain hangs behind. The setting suggests a temple or satsang hall with a ceremonial procession display.
