A photograph of a person in an orange saffron garment bending forward at a carved grey stone platform in a temple courtyard, pressing their forehead to the stone edge while one hand rests on it. Behind them stands a carved stone shrine with a lion relief and a deity figure in a niche, beside a red painted wall and metal railing. The person is barefoot with dark hair pulled back. Their face is hidden against the stone, and their appearance does not establish a person's presence, so the identity is uncertain.

Bare-shouldered and wearing red and gold bangles on the wrist, with a folded kneeling mat of yellow and white patterned cloth on the stone floor. Behind the stone ledge are brass lamps and a brass dish with an incense stick. Red and white painted pillars and walls frame the pavilion. The figure is shown from behind, so no face is visible, and the figure is a devotee at the shrine, not a clearly identifiable individual.2012-04-17October 13 20102010-10-13 +1 copiesJuly 07 20102010-07-07 +1 copiesJuly 11 20102010-07-11October 30 20102010-10-30 +1 copiesPhotograph of a bare-footed man in an orange sleeveless top and orange dhoti-style wrap bending forward at a grey stone shrine plinth with carved lion and floral motifs.
