A man in saffron-orange robes and a heavy gold bead necklace stands under an orange and red fringed canopy, leaning in to touch and trace the trunk of a large orange-painted Ganesha murti. The deity wears an orange turban and gold ornaments, and a black-painted hand holding an implement stands at the right. Green trees and a stone shrine are visible behind. Possibly a person person performing a ritual decoration of the Ganesha statue; the figure has a shaved-appearance tied hair and gold bead mala, consistent with the page reference but identity is uncertain from appearance.
