A person seen from behind in an orange saffron robe and matching orange turban, with long dark wavy hair falling down the back, stands in front of a large gold-coloured deity murti seated on a pedestal. The murti has a dark face with a red tilak mark, gold ornaments and a gold crown, and holds gold attributes in its raised hands. It is decorated with garlands of yellow and magenta flowers, and red flowers lie at its base. A carved white arch frames the scene against green trees. The person's hands are joined in front of the chest in a devotional pose. This is a photograph of a temple worship scene at Vaidyasarover, with the devotee facing the murti in prayer.
