A man in a grey-and-navy striped sweater and dark trousers stands with his back to the camera, holding a lit oil lamp in both hands before a shrine. Golden statues flank the altar: a seated golden figure wears a maroon turban, garlands of marigolds and rudraksha-like beads, and raises one hand. Golden lion figures sit at the sides. Fruit, nuts and small oil lamps are arranged on a tray on a magenta cloth, and red rose petals and a pearl garland lie in a tray at the bottom. Orange and green cloths drape the altar, with a silver-and-wood cabinet on the right.
