A temple shrine interior at night with a red and gold draped table in the foreground displaying stacked books with red-flower-decorated covers and framed portraits of a woman in orange, with brass oil lamps and a flower-garlanded bronze deity murti on the right. On the left, a man in saffron-orange robes with long swept-back hair and a garland stands beside a man in white dhoti with a gold-bordered cloth, and a third person in white is partly visible near the edge. Garlands and palm fronds decorate the shrine, and a striped red curtain hangs at the center. The orange-robed figure has long hair and a garland, a cue, but identity is uncertain and the page says he is not present, so this is an unsure appearance-based candidate.
