A photograph taken from behind and beside a figure with long, dark, matted dreadlocks falling down the back, wearing a reddish-brown wrap over the shoulders. The figure stands at a blue-framed doorway looking into a lit shrine room, where a dark stone Nandi bull sits before decorated deity figures draped in flower garlands, with red and white blossoms and marigold-style strings. In the right foreground the top of another dark-haired head is visible. The viewer sees the scene through the doorway from a close, dim angle.
