A photograph of a temple shrine with a stone platform and carved stone pillars. A single man in an orange-saffron dhoti and matching upper wrap bows forward at the waist with his hands near the shrine ledge, barefoot on a woven mat. Behind the ledge, a deity murti stands draped in garlands of yellow and orange flowers, with a large white cobra hood arching above it, and brass lamps and offering vessels sit on the altar. Red and white painted walls and a corrugated roof frame the courtyard, with palm trees beyond. The man's face is not visible, so his identity cannot be determined from the image.
