A photograph of a man in a brown sleeveless garment with a gold-bordered sash, standing with palms pressed together in namaskar while smiling and facing a decorated deity murti. He wears a bangle on his upper arm and a white-and-red flower garland. The murti is a golden metal figure wearing a tall gold crown with an orange headcloth, ornate jewellery and a necklace, flanked by a second golden figure in a teal cloth. Both are heavily draped in red roses, yellow marigolds, green leaves and white flowers, with a purple-and-gold cloth canopy above. The setting is a temple or shrine with a painted backdrop. The man's appearance does not clearly match the in-person cues required for the a person candidate, so this is a devotee standing in prayer before the murti.
