A photograph from behind of a man in a maroon-red sash and rudraksha beads standing before a shrine. His dark hair is coiled high on his head with a rudraksha band, and a green and red garland rests on his shoulders. In front of him is a red bull (Nandi) figure adorned with silver ornaments, blue beading and garlands, beside a deity murti in pink and white garlands and a pink headdress. Pink and yellow flower garlands drape the altar under a silver arch and a pink draped backdrop. A large projected temple carving fills the right background in red tones. The man appears to be offering prayer or worship at the shrine.
