He wears a long red-bead mala with gold-accented ornaments and an armlet. Behind him a standing deity murti in orange-brown garments and gold jewellery is framed by a tall arch of marigolds, roses and white blossoms in yellow, purple and red. An oil lamp burns at the altar, and a second person in orange cloth is partly visible at the left edge.
