An outdoor photo of a small shrine under trees. A man in an orange saffron shawl and white dhoti stands with his back to the camera, hands folded in namaskar. Beside him a figure in a long orange robe with long dark hair swept back and a rudraksha mala around the neck stands with palms joined in prayer, appearing to be the a person candidate, with compatible cues of long hair, saffron robe and rudraksha mala. Behind them a man in a red patterned shirt and a man in white kurta with a yellow shawl stand with hands folded. On the right, a man in white shirt pours liquid from a vessel over a dark deity murti decorated with red and white flower garlands, while another man in a white shirt stands by. A white arched doorway frames a garlanded orange-clad murti in the background.
