A photograph of a man in orange ochre robes pushing a red and grey floor-polishing machine across a pale tiled floor in a temple hall. He wears a crown-like headpiece and an orange shawl over his shoulder with a beaded rudraksha-style mala at his chest, and his head is bowed toward the deity shrine. Behind him, a deity murti in a red and orange garment and garlands of purple and yellow flowers sits within an ornate gold arched niche. Red curtains and stacked red chairs stand at the right, and a black and white mat lies against the wall.
