A photograph in a temple-style hall showing a standing man in a rust-red turban and rust-red sleeveless garment with yellow sashes, holding a white flower garland, facing a seated deity murti. The murti is adorned with gold jewellery, layered garlands, a gold crown and a red-and-gold silk sari, seated on a red-draped golden throne with a white curtain behind. A gold oil lamp stands in the foreground and a painted backdrop of palm trees and a sunset is behind. The standing man's features are not clearly visible, and his identity cannot be confirmed from appearance, so his role is described as a devotee or attendant.
