A phone screenshot of a chat message from 'Soori Uncle' showing a photo of a temple-style shrine. On the left, a deity murti of a goddess is decorated with white and pink garlands and a red and gold cloth, with a hand holding a brass lamp with a lit flame toward it. On the right, a seated figure in a red and gold turban, rudraksha mala and gold necklace sits on a gilded throne with a blue velvet draped stand below, and a gold lion-like carved backdrop behind. Appearance-based label: a person appears as a figure on the right, the figure appears to be a statue or depiction rather than a physical person in the scene. A person's arm and hand holding the lamp are the only physical human visible.
