A photograph of a home shrine decorated with marigold and white flower garlands hung on framed deity pictures. A standing man in an orange robe and a pink flower garland lights a long wick lamp held in his right hand. A brass lamp stand and a plate of bananas sit on the dark cabinet below, with a brass kalasha and pink flowers at the base. Through the window behind, green foliage is visible. The man is an appearance-based probable candidate only by unclear cues, so identity is uncertain.
