Several other people are partially visible at the frame edges, and the deity murti is decorated with flowers. a person: the man with swept-back hair, red bindi and garland is consistent with the page's reference to a person, though his face is partly distinct from the rest; the cues here are a garland and bindi only, which are not distinctive enough to confirm.
