A seated man with long dark hair and a beard sits on an ornate silver-and-red throne in front of a stone shrine at night. He wears a saffron-orange robe, a long gold-and-beaded necklace, a rudraksha mala and bangles, and sits with hands folded in his lap before a music stand. Behind him, a decorated deity murti pair wears red-and-gold garments and garlands, flanked by two attendants in orange dhotis holding brass lamps and a long pole. A tall red curtain hangs at the right, and a brass horn-shaped vessel with white flowers sits at the lower right corner. The setting appears to be a Navaratri festival at a temple.
