A photograph inside a temple shrine decorated with marigold garlands. A person seen from behind, with long dreadlocked black hair, wears a rust-red turban, a saffron-red cloth and a garland of white and yellow flowers over the shoulder, with hands folded in prayer before a brass oil lamp (deepam) wrapped in yellow flowers. A second person with long dark dreadlocks and an orange-red cloth stands at the right edge. Behind them is a deity murti with a red floral garland, a lion figure, and draped red and gold fabric. The figure's appearance matches the page's a person cues of long hair and ceremonial dress, but the face is not visible, so identity is uncertain.
