A photograph of a single person bowing low at a stone ledge in a temple-like hall. The person wears an orange saree-style garment with a leopard-print shawl over the upper body, long dark hair, and holds a dark rudraksha-style mala. Before them on the carved stone are brass vessels, a silver plate and a small offering tray. Carved stone pillars, an orange wall, red drapes and a wooden cabinet with gold fittings stand behind them, and a small flower arrangement sits in the corner. This is an appearance-based candidate with the saffron clothing and mala as cues, but the figure is partly turned away and the face is not clearly visible, so identity is uncertain.2010-11-09A person in orange draped robes and a leopard-print shawl leans forward at a stone ledge carved with figures, touching it with one hand while a rudraksha mala hangs from the other side.
