A man bows deeply with his head pressed against a stone platform, wearing a long reddish-brown robe with gold trim, a white and red flower garland around his neck, and gold armlets; his long dreadlocked hair hangs down his back. Oil lamps burn on the ground beside the platform. Behind him, a uniformed police officer and other men stand nearby, and a second person in red robes is partly visible.

Appearance cues are not sufficient to identify the bowing man as a person, so he is described by role as a devotee.2017-02-06A bare-chested man with long dark hair and a maroon head wrap stands with palms pressed together in namaskar before a shrine. He wears a leopard-print cloth wrapped at the waist, rust-brown dhoti and a pink-and-white garland. Inside the shrine stands a stone deity murti with garlands, gold brass lamps, a brass kalasha-like vessel and offerings on the altar. Red carpet covers the floor, with a maroon curtain and striped mats nearby. A man in a dark red robe stands behind him.
