A photograph of a temple shrine where a figure in plain white dhoti and white shirt bows forward with hands pressed to a stone platform before a deity murti draped in garlands of yellow and orange flowers. Behind the murti stand a brass kalasha-style vessel, brass lamps and a small pot on a white-draped altar. Two or three other people in white and cream clothes stand at the right, with an orange-painted wall and a red curtain behind. The figure has long dark hair and a mala around the neck; appearance alone is not enough to name him, so he is described by role as a devotee performing obeisance. A printed copyright caption appears at lower right.
