A photograph outdoors under trees showing a man in profile with palms pressed together in anjali mudra at chest height. He wears an orange-saffron cloth draped over his bare upper body with a red-and-orange border, a rudraksha-style beaded necklace, and a tilak on his forehead, with his long dark hair tied in a back knot. Behind him stands a black stone deity murti draped in orange cloth and garlanded with yellow, orange and white flower garlands, set within a white arched frame. In the lower left, a heap of orange-red flowers or offerings sits beside a small stone stand and a blue bucket. The man's appearance with long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha cues is consistent with a person, but identity is uncertain from appearance alone.
