A devotee in saffron-orange robes stands outdoors among rocks, palms and green shrubs, performing a puja before a framed photograph of a seated man in orange robes with a garland of red flowers. The framed photo sits under a colourful multi-panelled canopy, and the devotee holds a brass bell in one hand and a small vessel or lamp in the other. Petals lie on the stone ledge below. The framed portrait is a depiction, not a physical person, and the devotee is the only physically present figure. Under the framed photo, the devotee pours or offers from a small metal vessel.
