A photograph taken from behind of a figure in an orange-saffron shawl and orange ribbed top, with long dark curly hair, reaching toward an ornate gold arch framing two metal deity statues. The statue on the left has a tall golden crown and white and gold dhoti; the one on the right wears a red-orange silk garment. Behind them are blue, teal and pink buildings with laundry and a dirt-and-stone riverbank setting in a hilly village street. The figure's hand rests on the golden arch. The figure's appearance (long swept hair, saffron wrap) is a probable match for a person, but the face is not visible.
