A photograph of a temple shrine setting with a man in orange saffron robes walking through the foreground, a sleeveless orange garment with a rudraksha mala around his neck and long dark hair swept back. Behind him, a gilded arched frame surrounds a deity murti seated on a white-draped platform, adorned with flower garlands in red, yellow and purple, and a silver-embellished necklace; one figure wears a red turban and crown. Brass oil lamps on tall stands and copper vessels sit on the stone platform, with an orange cushion on a chair at left and orange drapery behind. The walking man's features are not clearly visible, so his identity is uncertain.
