A photograph of a person in an orange saffron robe bowing low and touching their forehead to a grey stone plinth at dusk. Yellow marigold garlands drape the stone, and several small clay oil lamps with lit flames sit along its top ledge. The person wears a long gold-bead necklace of ghanta-like ornaments over the orange cloth, and a dark bun is visible. Behind the stone, carved stone pillars and a white wall show a temple setting. The scene reads as evening arati or devotional obeisance at a temple shrine. Only one physical person is visible, and the identity is not established from appearance.
