A woman with long, wavy dark hair and a small white tilak on her forehead stands in profile at the left, wrapped in a draped mauve-brown garment and wearing a rudraksha mala across her shoulder. She looks upward with her hands raised together in front of her, in a prayerful pose. Behind her, a carved grey stone structure with a lion-like figure and brass oil lamps sits on a stone ledge, framed by red-orange curtains and orange walls. This is a photo of one person in a temple-style hall.
