A man with hair tied in a bun stands in profile with palms pressed together in namaskar before a carved stone shrine decorated with fresh flowers in orange, yellow and red. He wears an orange sleeveless top, a red-orange dhoti and a matching shawl draped over his shoulder, with a gold-coloured bead necklace. Behind a red-orange cloth hanging on a pole, several priests in white dhotis and orange shawls stand under a corrugated roof, one holding a silver tray and another a silver plate, with vertical white-and-red painted walls. A framed black board with white lettering hangs on the wall beside the shrine. The scene shows a devotional offering at a temple courtyard.
