A man with long dark hair and a bare chest, wearing an orange cloth wrap around his waist and an orange shawl over one shoulder, stands barefoot on a small mat facing a shrine. The shrine is a carved stone niche with orange drapery behind it, holding a group of painted deity murti, including a seated figure in blue and gold with a red-and-orange crowned figure beside it, and a dark lingam draped with black-and-white cloth and rudraksha beads in front. Brass lamps, a kalasha-like vessel and offerings in small bowls sit on the stone ledge. A hanging orange cloth and red-and-white striped walls frame the open temple courtyard.
