A person in a rust-red top and orange-gold cloth stands beside a copper-toned ornate shrine or ratha with carved panels and a tree relief. Yellow marigold garlands hang on its pillars. The person raises both arms to adjust or hold a long peach-coloured cloth draped over the structure, with red beaded mala and gold-bordered beaded necklaces around the neck and gold bangles on the wrists. Palm fronds appear in the background. The person's appearance does not clearly support the page's claim, so the identity is recorded as unsure.
