Photograph inside a temple shrine with an orange-painted wall covered in small brass bells hanging from square recesses. A woman in a rust-red sari with a draped red shawl stands at left, facing a window opening. At right, a man with shoulder-length hair wears a white dhoti with gold borders and a white shawl draped over one shoulder, his back toward the camera, hand raised to his chin. A garland of yellow, white and red flowers hangs on the wall behind him, and strings of green beads with bells hang at the left edge.
