A photograph of a devotee bowing with forehead pressed against a grey stone ledge at a temple. A man with dark hair in a topknot wears a green sleeveless garment with gold trim. Beside him, a folded maroon shawl with an orange edge rests on the ledge. A carved stone pattern is visible at the base of the ledge and a red structure appears in the blurred background. The person's face is not visible enough to judge who they are, so this is a devotee in a temple setting, not a confirmed a person sighting.
