Photograph taken in a dim temple interior, with a blurred foreground of a large yellow-orange cloth decorated with white floral motifs and a blue circular emblem with a white bird. Behind it, a dark stone deity murti stands in an arched niche framed by an ornate golden surround, adorned with a garland of flowers and a red bindi-like mark. Small lamps glow at the right edge. A partially visible figure in white stands at the left edge. The page notes a person at this event, but no visible person clearly matches an appearance-based candidate, so the identity remains uncertain.
