Orange curtains hang at the sides, and a figure in white is partly visible at the right edge.

Behind the altar stands a deity murti with a trident and crown, draped in red, yellow and green garlands and a purple cloth. Brass oil lamps, a kalasha-style vessel, flower plates, a bowl of offerings and a bunch of green bananas surround the shrine, with blue curtains and flower arrangements behind. The scene suggests a devotional puja at a temple shrine. The orange-robed figure has long dark hair and a distinctive ceremonial presentation, but the face is turned away and the appearance is not clear enough to confirm identity.2008-12-30
