A photograph inside a marble-walled shrine. A devotee in orange saffron robes with a gold-bordered cloth prostrates face-down on the floor, arms extended, before a raised altar with steps. Scattered pink flower petals cover the floor. In the back, an arched doorway glows with warm lights and holds a deity murti or altar decorated with a red floral garland, flanked by brass oil lamps, with a brass kalasha and a small lit lamp. A round wall clock hangs on the right. A small framed picture is pinned on the left wall. Only one prostrating person is visible, with a partially visible second person's bare feet at the lower left.
