A photograph of a seated man in a rust-red robe with a swept-back crown of white flowers and a long dark braided mane, reaching toward a black pedestal covered in yellow turmeric paste. Beside him, a silver shrine with white-and-gold garlands holds a small deity murti, and a silver peetha stands nearby. Plates of white flowers and turmeric lie on a striped cloth, with a tropical plant behind. The figure's distinctive hair and crown are visible cues, so this is an appearance-based a person during ritual abhishekam-style worship.
