A photograph inside an open-sided stone temple shrine with a grey granite plinth and carved pillars. A single person in a sleeveless orange-saffron garment and matching orange dhoti walks barefoot toward the shrine, back to the camera, long dark hair down the back. Orange cloth covers the floor and an orange-upholstered seat with a footstool stands to the left. Inside the shrine, a deity murti sits on a golden throne decorated with red-and-yellow marigold garlands, golden kalasha-style vessels and brass lamps, with an orange-red backdrop. Orange curtains frame the open sides and a red-and-white striped wall is visible behind.
