A dense frame of marigolds, roses and jasmine garlands in red, yellow, pink and white surrounds a deity murti in a decorated shrine niche. The murti wears a silver crown with blue stones, silver necklaces and a draped cloth with a red border, with a pair of striped decorative poles beside it. A bare-shouldered man in the lower left, seen from behind with a white sacred thread, faces the shrine. Smoke or incense haze softens the scene.
