A photo of two devotees seated on red brick steps in an outdoor shrine lined with black lingams, potted plants and a chain-link fence behind them. A man in white kurta and white trousers with a mustache and a rudraksha mala sits with palms pressed together in anjali. Beside him a woman in a paisley maroon kurta with a beige dupatta, also with hands in anjali. Yellow and red marigold garlands drape the lingams in front of them, with a wicker basket of coconut and flowers nearby and a white cloth on the steps. Another person in a purple shirt stands in the background. The setting suggests pada puja at the lingam shrine. No a person candidate is visible, so the a person field is none.
