A photograph of a man in a temple hall placing a folded red-brown cloth bundle onto a stone ledge. He wears a rust-brown dhoti-style garment with a gold waistband, a gold armlet, bangles, a pale pink and white flower garland, and a white forehead mark. His long dark hair falls down his back and he has a full beard. Behind him stand tall brass oil lamps with bird-shaped finials, a small red-clad deity figure, carved stone pillars with lion motifs, and a dark red curtain with gold-yellow patterns. The visible activity suggests a temple ritual, but only one person is present.
