A photograph of a man in white ritual dress bending forward at a stone shrine, pressing his forehead and hand against the carved stone base. He wears a white dhoti and a white shawl with striped brown-and-gold borders, with rudraksha beads at his neck and wrists. Garlands of yellow marigolds and white flowers hang on a deity murti at left, which wears gold ornaments and jewelled adornments. A carved stone pillar and a woven mat stand behind him, with a yellow patterned cloth on the floor. The scene reads as devotional worship at a temple.
