A priest in an orange dhoti with a bare upper body and a sacred thread stands with his back to the camera, facing a golden metal statue of a standing child figure with a red tilak on its forehead. The statue stands on a raised base beside brass vessels and a large dark stone basin. Behind them are red-carpeted steps lined with grey stone sculptures of seated figures, with metal railings in the foreground.
