A photograph taken from behind of a single person in a dark orange-red sannyasi robe walking down a red-carpeted aisle toward a large deity murti. The murti is adorned with a thick garland of red and yellow flowers and wears a blue and pink garment, with a gold-framed backdrop and a pink curtain behind it. Flanking stone carvings and small smaller shrine images are visible on the pillars, and orange-red drapes hang on both sides of the aisle. The figure is seen only from the back, so no face is visible; no identity is established from appearance.
