A man in orange saffron robes bows forward with his forehead pressed against a grey stone ledge at a temple, his hair tied in a topknot and a rudraksha mala visible at his neck. His right hand rests on the carved stone. Behind him stand an orange and red painted wall, a carved stone pillar, and a brass lamp and offering tray on a ledge to the right. A red-and-white striped curtain hangs at the left edge. The figure is a single devotee in prostration, and the appearance-based identity cue is not sufficient to name him as a person.
