A large painted Ganesha murti with a long trunk, gold jewellery and a red-and-white garland fills the right side of the frame. Beside it on the left, a man in a rust-red dhoti and a shawl stands with hands folded in prayer, wearing a red, yellow and white flower garland and a white tilak on his forehead. Behind them are a corrugated metal roof, a world map on the wall and a small display board. The man's appearance is not sufficiently distinctive to confirm an identity, so he is described by role only.

August 16 20172017-08-16A photograph of a large painted Ganesha murti with a pink face, curved white tusk, red and gold headdress, gold jewellery and a red-and-gold garland. Beside it stands a man in a saffron-red cloth with a long swept-back dark hair, white tilak on his forehead, and a multicoloured flower garland of yellow, white and red blooms. He smiles while touching the murti's trunk area with both hands, appearing to perform a ritual. Behind them is a corrugated metal roof, a world map on the wall and string lights. The appearance is consistent with the page's a person reference, but the face and clothing cues are not distinctive enough to confirm identity, so this is a priest in ritual dress.2017-08-16August 16 20172017-08-16August 16 20172017-08-16August 16 20172017-08-16August 16 20172017-08-16August 16 20172017-08-16A man with a shaved head and white forehead markings stands at left, wearing a reddish-brown dhoti and bare upper body, with a long garland of red, yellow and white flowers draped over his shoulders and hands pressed together in prayer.
