A man walks forward on a green-carpeted stage in a temple courtyard. He wears a magenta silk sari-style drape with a dark green and gold woven border, and a long wooden rudraksha-style bead mala hangs around his neck. He has a white tilak with a red bindi and his hair is tied back. Behind him to the right, a large golden-brown deity murti with many arms is seated on a yellow draped seat. To the left, a man in orange ochre robes stands partly visible. Bamboo poles and a hanging orange cloth frame the scene, with white statues among trees behind.
