A photograph of a man standing at a stone-topped altar in a temple courtyard, wearing a red-maroon cloth wrap over his shoulders with gold trim, a long gold bead necklace of large round beads, gold bangles and an armband, and a red tilak mark on his forehead. Brass vessels, a brass kalasha-style pot, a brass lamp, a bowl of rice, folded white and purple cloths, and pink flowers sit on the altar. Behind him is an orange-red wall, a framed painting of a seated blue-skinned deity with a trident beside a white-robed figure, a small printed notice, and a carved stone pillar at left. The man is shown with a calm, attentive expression. His appearance is consistent with the page's claim, but the cues are not distinctive enough to confirm.
