A smiling person in a lime-green silk sari with a maroon head wrap and red-and-green border stands beside a gilded Nandi bull statue on a wheeled wooden platform. Behind them, a decorated shrine holds two deity murtis, one wearing an orange sash and jewelled ornaments and the other in a green garment with ornaments, both framed by garlands of yellow, red, purple and white flowers. The platform is draped with a dark green cloth, and the setting is an indoor hall with a dark curtain.
