A person in a rust-orange robe stands beside a whiteboard on an easel, holding a marker and drawing a sketch of a face with an eye, nose and smile, with a few Telugu-script words written below. The figure wears a dark dreadlock-style headwrap, a beaded rudraksha-style mala, a gold necklace, and gold bangles on the wrist, and is smiling. Behind them sit three golden deity murti seated on a red and gold draped dais under an ornate gold arch, including a seated figure in a red turban and gold garlands, and a murti with a tall crown holding a hand up in blessing. The setting appears to be a stage or hall with red drapery.
