A photograph of a man in a saffron-orange robe with a white flower garland and long dark hair holding a lit oil lamp (deepam) toward a small white shrine niche. Inside the niche sits a small orange-robed seated figure. Coloured tinsel garlands and streamers hang across the shrine, and a thatched ceiling with paper streamers overhead. Brass pots, banana leaves and offerings lie on the floor. The man appears to be a priest-like devotee; presentation cues are not distinctive enough to confirm the page's claim, so identity is left uncertain.
