A smiling man with long dark hair, wearing an orange saffron robe, a white jasmine garland with red flower strands, and a red bindi, sits on a raised seat under a decorated pandal. Two devotees in white clothes prostrate with foreheads touching the stone ground in front of him, with marigold petals and flower garlands scattered nearby. Behind him, a deity murti is adorned with garlands, and colourful striped arches with peacock-like finials frame the scene. Silver offering plates with yellow flowers and brass lamps sit at the front.
