A man stands in front of a shrine with a large deity murti of a seated divine couple, decorated with green and gold garments, garlands of white and marigold flowers, and a golden arched frame with a red backdrop. Smoke or incense haze drifts across the lower part of the picture. The standing man wears a dark maroon robe, a dark cap, and a long white garland, with a bead necklace; his hands are raised in a gesture. Brass oil lamps and flower-decorated altar offerings flank the platform, and a standing deity figure in green is on the left.

Flanking statues stand on the stone platform, one with a bouquet and yellow-green dress, another in red. Smoke or incense haze drifts across the lower frame. In front, a man in a dark maroon-brown dhoti-style garment, with a white and garland mala around his neck, a dark cap and a red tilak, stands smiling near the platform edge with his hands by his sides.

Two standing attendant statues stand on either side, one in yellow and gold and one in orange with a red and white garland. Garlands of red and white flowers hang over the central figures and a brass oil lamp stands at each side. In the foreground, a seated man with a shaved head wears a gold-and-red shawl, a rudraksha mala and a white-and-red garland, seated on a silver-white throne with a brass pot in front of him. The setting appears to be a shiva deeksha ceremony. The seated man is a person in front of the shrine, not a printed portrait.2017-10-05
