Gold-painted arched frames and a teal backdrop surround the figure. Along the central red-carpeted walkway between brass railings lit by oil lamps, a single figure in a dark brown dhoti walks toward the shrine, seen from behind. Red and white painted walls and a small standing figure on the right complete the setting.2013-02-27Night photograph of a shrine niche framed by grey stone carving and orange curtains.
