A man in saffron-orange robes with long dark hair and a white forehead mark stretches his arm up to paint or mark the forehead of a large, pink-and-maroon Ganesha statue. He holds a thin red and white garland-wrapped stick or brush. The deity murti is decorated with a gold-and-maroon crown, golden ornaments, and floral garlands of red and yellow flowers. Beneath a metal-roofed shelter, a wall map with colourful lights and a board of Kannada and English text sits behind the scene. The image is an event photograph of a Ganesha murti being prepared.
