A photograph of a person in an orange saffron dhoti and orange shawl bowing low with forehead touching the edge of a grey stone altar or platform. The person wears a long rudraksha mala hanging from the neck, stands barefoot on a leopard-print mat, and the stone is carved with ornamental motifs. Brass and copper vessels, a kalasha-style pot, and a small tray sit on the altar at left, with orange and red painted walls and a doorway with curtains behind. This appears to be a devotee's pranam or puja at a temple shrine. The person's face is not visible, so no identification is made.
