A photograph of an outdoor shrine with a large deity murti of a goddess with multiple arms, flanked by smaller figures including a pink elephant-headed Ganesha holding a sweet, and a green figure with a bull nearby. The murti is draped in white and garlanded with marigold strands. In the foreground, a figure in an orange robe with hair tied up sits with their back to the camera beside a video camera on a tripod. Coconut palms and a red-framed canopy surround the shrine, with a flame burning on a platform in front. No identifiable person's face is visible, so no a person candidate is confirmed.
