A photograph of a man seated before a large painted deity murti, with a lion and a turquoise-skinned figure with raised arm behind him. He wears a rust-brown dhoti-style garment, multiple rudraksha malas across his chest and upper arms, and a long garland of white and yellow flowers with red and green accents. A red tilak marks his forehead and he holds a silver staff with carved heads in each hand. Red and yellow flower offerings lie on the ground nearby, and the scene is lit at night.

A smiling man with a red tilak on his forehead sits in front of a large lion-headed statue, with a painted deity figure and a silver trident-like staff beside him. He wears a rust-orange garment, long rudraksha malas across his chest and arms, and heavy garlands of red, yellow, white and green flowers with apples. Behind him are a yellow flower garland, a blue painted body and a gilded costume with mirror-work. Behind the lion, blue and gold decorative props fill the frame.
