A photograph of a man bowing low with his forehead touching a grey granite pedestal carved with floral and scroll motifs, in a temple-like stone interior. He wears a white and red flower garland around his neck and an orange-brown cloth draped over his shoulder and back. Behind him a red patterned wall and carved stone pillars are visible. The posture suggests a devotional prostration or padapuja-style reverence at a sacred stone seat. No readable printed name identifies him, and his face is not clearly visible, so no identity is asserted.
