A photograph of a devotional shrine in a yellow-walled room. A framed portrait is labelled with a printed caption, and is decorated with garlands of white, pink, yellow and green flowers draped along the wall. Brass oil lamps, a small brass container and incense sticks sit on a shelf in front of the frame. Two people in orange clothing stand at the left edge: one has white flower garlands in her hair and reaches toward the flower-draped wall, while the other's back is partly visible. The framed picture shows a seated figure in orange robes with a garland and raised hand, in front of a tree trunk. a person's presence is only by a printed portrait, so no in-person identification is made; the seated figure in the frame is depicted on a screen-like print, marked unsure.
