A photograph taken outdoors beside a large black stone deity murti draped with a white and gold-bordered cloth and garlanded with white flowers. In the foreground a wooden arch frames the scene. Standing beside the murti is a man with long dark hair, wearing an orange saffron-coloured dhoti and shawl with gold borders, a red tilak on his forehead, and a small dark mala at his neck; he has his hand on his chest and looks toward the statue. Green trees and a small red-and-white pillar are visible behind, with a brass pot near the lower left. The page's Bhagavad Gita text is not visible in the image.
