Photograph of a man in a doorway of a temple with polished stone walls and steps. In the foreground a man in an orange-red dhoti and shawl with gold borders stands with palms pressed together in namaste and eyes closed; he wears a gold pendant necklace, a thin headband and a tilak on his forehead. Behind him, inside the shrine, a second man in a white dhoti with gold border and a rudraksha mala looks on. Orange lights glow around a white carved arch. A small printed poster with a figure in red robes is pinned to the left pillar.
