In the centre, a barefoot figure in an orange-saffron dhoti and a leopard-print shawl walks along a metal railing, with a glass-topped display case below holding brass dishes and small offerings. Around them, devotees with palms pressed together stand in white and cream traditional clothes, some wearing red shawls, and a woman in an orange sari bows her head.
