A photograph inside a rustic, partly open temple shed with a corrugated roof, lattice window and whitewashed pillars. A figure in white dhoti and shirt holds a brass ritual lamp or deepam aloft while another white-clad person bends forward in devotion at the lower left. In the foreground a figure with long, swept-back dark hair wears a saffron-orange wrap and stands turned toward the scene; the appearance is consistent with the a person cues of long hair and saffron clothing, though no ornaments or rudraksha are clearly visible. Brass lamps and puja items sit on a cloth at the lower right, with bundled sacks and a motorcycle outside the doorway.

A figure in a long orange-saffron garment with a shawl draped over the shoulders stands at left, head partly turned, with long hair visible. Beside him, a man in white ritual clothes with a dark sash across the chest stands near stacked bundles and cloth. On the left, a low bed or platform is covered with red and dark blankets and folded white cloth. Coiled cables and boxes sit along the right wall. The lighting is dim, with daylight entering through gaps in the roof. The appearance of the figure in orange is consistent with a presentation of the person the page names, but the features are not clearly distinct enough to confirm identity.2006-11-23September 18 20062006-09-18
