A photograph of an outdoor shrine area with a standing man in saffron-orange dhoti and shawl, long dark hair and a sandalwood-marked arm, facing a group of black stone deity statues under golden arched torana frames. Foreground seated statue in orange and purple robes with a garland of green, red and yellow flowers and a small orange-robed seated figure with white flowers in front. Trees and a red-and-white painted pedestal surround the scene. The standing man is apparently a devotee performing darshan or padapuja; the visible saffron clothing and long hair are noted, but no identity is asserted from appearance.
