A photograph inside a temple shrine showing a man in a rust-brown turban and brown silk dhoti, bare-chested and wearing gold bangles and an armlet, bent forward with eyes lowered as he adorns a golden deity murti with garlands. Long dark braided hair hangs down his back. He wears a flower garland of pink and white blossoms around his neck and his hands rest on a golden figure decorated with green jeweled ornaments. Behind him, yellow, orange and red flower garlands drape the shrine, and additional gilded statues with ornate jewellery and a golden cobra-hood backdrop are visible. Two smaller figures in red turbans appear at the left edge. This appears to be a temple decoration or abhishekam-style puja. The man bears distinctive long hair and a turban; appearance is suggestive but not conclusive, so presence is marked unsure.
