A photograph inside a temple shrine. In the foreground a gilded, ornately carved throne with red velvet cushions stands empty on the left. A standing man with long dark hair wears an orange saffron dhoti and a leopard-print shawl over one shoulder, with a white and red flower garland around his neck. He faces a golden deity murti seated on a red-draped altar, adorned with a crown, a gold kalasha-like finial and red and yellow flower garlands. Brass oil lamps and a red iron railing frame the shrine, with orange curtains at the right edge. The man has distinctive long swept-back hair, a leopard-print shawl and a flower garland, so he is an appearance-based a person present in person.
