A photograph of a man standing barefoot on a leopard-print mat beside a carved grey stone shrine with lion-motif relief and a brass oil lamp (a deepa stand) at its left. He wears a rust-brown dhoti with broad gold borders, a draped brown shawl over his bare shoulders, a long rudraksha mala with a gold-tone necklace, rudraksha armbands and wrist bracelets, and his long dark hair is worn loose down his back. He stands in profile with hands folded in prayer at the shrine's ledge, facing a small deity figure in the niche. Behind him, a red curtain hangs at a doorway, and a man in a red shirt and blue track pants stands in the background.
