A photograph of a person in an orange-red garment bowing low with their forehead resting on a red-and-blue stone ledge inscribed with Tamil lettering. The person wears long white and gold jasmine garlands, a rudraksha mala, and a gold-coloured bangle-style arm ornament. A brass cup with a wick and red and white flower offerings lie on the ledge at left. The figure's face is partly hidden, and the appearance is not clearly consistent with the page's a person claim, so the identity is uncertain.
