A standing man in a rust-red dhoti and gold-and-pink flower garland waves his right hand in front of an ornate golden temple shrine. He wears a gold ceremonial headdress with orange tassels, several gold necklaces, and a rudraksha-style mala, and holds a silver staff. Beside him sits a richly decorated deity murti with a gold crown, orange-and-gold silk drapery, and marigold garlands. Golden lion sculptures and a golden trident flank the gilded shrine. Visible appearance cues include gold ceremonial adornment and a flower garland, but the person's identity is not established by the scene, so he is described by role only as a standing devotee at the shrine.
