A photograph taken inside a small yellow-walled shrine room with a green door. A man in white ritual clothing sits cross-legged on the floor beside a black shivling resting in a white marble basin on a checkered floor. A terracotta pot hangs from chains above the lingam, dripping toward it, and a small oil lamp burns on the floor in front. A brass vessel sits by the doorway. The timestamp overlay reads Mar 1, 2022 7:52:29 PM, with the location 8 Kalika Gali, Lahori Tola, Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh. The man is a devotee or priest performing puja at the Shivling, and no visible cues mark him as a person.
