A photograph of a temple shrine with a golden deity murti seated on a blue-draped pedestal under a gold arched canopy, surrounded by bands of yellow marigold, white, purple and red flower garlands. A woman in a red sari with gold border and red-and-black braided hair stands at left, her arm raised toward the deity's head as if applying an offering or adornment. At right stands a golden statue of a bearded sage in a leopard-print garment with a brown rudraksha-style mala and raised palm. No living a person candidate is clearly visible; the figures shown are statues and a devotee, so the photo does not depict a physically present person matching the page's claim.
