A photograph inside a temple shrine showing a long-haired person in a rust-orange wrap and orange dhoti leaning forward to touch a black shivalinga-style stone base, garlanded with yellow marigold and multicoloured flower strands. Behind it stands a large seated golden deity murti dressed in a red skirt, wearing a gold crown and ornate jewellery, with a vertical garland backdrop in red, purple, white and yellow flowers. A second person in a red turban and a monk-like figure stand at the left edge. The person in the foreground has a distinctive long swept hair and ornate gold necklace cues, but appearance alone is not enough to confirm identity, so the identity remains uncertain. Three to four people are visible.
