A standing man in a rust-orange silk dhoti and matching shawl with wide gold borders, wearing a gold bead necklace, gold bangles and a red bindi, smiles and raises one hand in greeting beside a large gilded deity murti. The murti is a standing figure on a golden peacock vahana with a crown and jewelled necklaces, framed by a gilded arch topped with a hooded naga and an intricate garland of yellow, red, white and green flowers. Red satin drapes the peacock and its base. Maroon velvet curtains hang behind the scene on a white-walled hall.
