Night-time photograph of a devotee in a courtyard with an orange brick wall and a tree behind. A bare-chested man with long dark hair, white forehead markings, a red and yellow flower garland and an orange and gold-patterned cloth stands with palms pressed together in namaskar, eyes closed, facing a large black stone deity murti of Shiva draped in red and yellow flower garlands, holding a trident. A small brass oil lamp sits on the ground near the murti, with scattered flower petals. A second person in orange robes stands at the left edge. Only partially identifiable cues are visible for the praying man, so his identity is left unsure.
