The framed photo sits under a colourful multi-panelled canopy, and the devotee holds a brass bell in one hand and a small vessel or lamp in the other. Petals lie on the stone ledge below. The framed portrait is a depiction, not a physical person, and the devotee is the only physically present figure. Under the framed photo, the devotee pours or offers from a small metal vessel.2008-05-19An outdoor photo at a rocky hillside shrine among green trees and palms.
