A man with long dark hair worn loose and a long red-and-white marigold garland stands with hands folded in anjali mudra, bowing before a large brightly painted Ganesha murti with a red-and-gold crown, red-tinged face and an elephant trunk. The Ganesha murti is adorned with yellow and white flower garlands. The man wears a maroon dhoti, gold armlets and bangles. Behind them is a metal-roofed shelter with a green NITHYANANDA TV LIVE sign and onlookers in orange clothing, one holding a camera. The man is a person by appearance with long hair, a garland and maroon robes, but the cues are not strong enough to be certain, so he is described here as a devotee bowing in worship.
