A man in a saffron-orange dhoti and matching shawl with a rudraksha mala walks barefoot down a red carpet toward a granite shrine. Behind him, two large painted deity figures stand on a raised pink-draped platform under a golden arch: one with a red crown, the other with a crown and green garment, both adorned with garlands. A small golden shrine with a standing female figure in yellow stands to the right. Red curtains hang at the left, and a few other people in orange clothing stand near the edges.
