A man in saffron-orange robes and a rudraksha mala stands at left holding a silver plate, beside two golden deity murtis adorned with jewelled crowns, necklaces and garlands. The central murti holds a pink lotus. Behind them is a gold ornate arch with an orange curtain, and red, yellow and white flower garlands frame the scene. The man's appearance shows some cues such as the saffron robes, rudraksha beads and ceremonial gold pendant, but the identity is uncertain from appearance alone, so he is described by role as a priest performing worship beside the murtis.
