A seated figure is photographed from behind, wrapped in a red cloth and draped with long garlands of white jasmine and red rose flowers. A large yellow flower crown sits atop the head. Smoke rises in the background near a flame at left, a golden framed deity murti stands behind, and bananas are visible at right. The figure's face is not visible, so the identity is uncertain and there is no clear visual cue for a person.
