Physical description

Poster depicting the god Satyanarayana with a gold, jeweled headdress and a light yellow halo behind his head. He has dark hair, and his four arms each hold a different object: his top right hand is holding a whirling disc, in the bottom right hand is a club, the top left hand holds a conch shell, and the bottom left holds a light blue lotus bloom. He is dressed in gold pants with a red shawl and a flower garland around his neck. To Satyanarayana's right are three standing and two seated figures, all with folded hands. On his left side is a standing figure holding a stringed instrument and a seated figure with a book in front of him. Below the central figure is a votive altar. A gold, pink and dark blue arch surrounds the picture. Blue background.
