A man stands on a stage beside a decorated deity murti dressed in red and silver ornaments, with a purple silk-draped altar and a floral arch of red, yellow and white garlands. He wears a long brown dhoti-style garment with gold border, a long multicoloured flower garland with tassels, a gold pendant necklace, and a red-and-white tilak on his forehead. Beside him stands a golden statue of a figure, and nearby are a smaller deity murti in blue and maroon robes and a white-clad murti holding a veena. Hanging yellow paper lanterns and colourful tassels decorate the backdrop. The man's appearance is consistent with the presentation of a person, given the long garland, gold pendant and ceremonial brown garment, though this is uncertain.
