A photograph of a single person in orange ochre robes bending forward at a stone shrine ledge, head pressed down toward the stone, one hand resting on the carved granite. The person wears an orange shawl draped over the shoulders and wrapped around the head, orange loose trousers, a dark beaded mala around the neck, and has hair in a bun. Bare feet stand on a leopard-print mat. On the altar behind are a brass kalasha-style vessel, brass lamps, and a seated white deity murti in green robes with a green cloth wrap, garlanded with yellow and purple flower malas, with folded orange cloth on a table. A red iron gate and a red wall are in the background.
