A large painted Ganesha murti dominates the foreground, with a tusk, red-brown headdress with gold crown, gold necklaces and a garland of red and white flowers. Behind it stands a shaved-headed man with long hair at the back, bare-chested in a reddish-orange cloth, offering a garland and reaching toward the deity. A corrugated metal roof covers the space, and a painted wall map with a figure and the number 347 is visible on the left. A ceremonial rod with garlands rests near the deity. Nothing in the frame clearly establishes a person as the man present.
