A man with long dark hair and a white vertical tilak on his forehead, bare-shouldered in a rust-orange cloth, raises a long red-and-white garland toward the trunk of a very large painted Ganesha statue. The statue has a pale tusk, reddish-orange turban and ornate gold jewellery, and is draped with pink and yellow flower garlands. Behind them are a corrugated metal roof and a world map with green lights. A visible hand or ornament at the tip of the trunk suggests the image is being anointed or decorated during worship. The man appears to be a priest or devotee performing a ritual.
