A photograph of a temple shrine at night showing a person in an orange-saffron robe with long dark hair standing at left, holding a lit flame or oil lamp in one hand and a small object in the other as smoke rises. Beside them a second person in orange kneels before a brass stand with a lamp and offerings on a yellow-and-brown base. In the centre a white cloth-draped seat is covered with an orange-and-gold cloth. At right stands a large painted or sculpted deity figure in pink and green dress with gold jewellery and a crown. Stone pillars and a dark ceiling frame the scene. The standing figure shows swept-back long hair and orange robes, a person cue; the identification is uncertain, so the person is recorded as unsure.
