A photograph of a stone shrine with carved granite pillars and orange curtains tied at the sides. Inside the shrine stands a large deity murti in pink and blue draped garments, decorated with marigold garlands, with a silver-and-brass lamp stand and oil lamps in front. A single person in an orange saffron dhoti and shawl walks barefoot across a mat in front of the altar, toward the shrine. Red and white striped walls and green foliage surround the open-air courtyard.

A barefoot man in a saffron-orange sannyasi wrap stands facing a stone shrine at a temple. Inside the arched, red-backed niche, a deity murti with a trident and garlands of yellow and red flowers is adorned, with brass lamps and vessels set before it on the granite platform. Red and white curtains hang at the sides of the open pavilion, and palm trees are visible beyond. The man's presence is a practitioner's stance at the shrine, and the page's a person claim cannot be confirmed from his appearance, so his identity is not asserted.
