A photograph from behind of a person in an orange-saffron sannyasi garment with a deep red border, long dark hair falling loose, and gold bangles on the wrist. The person reaches up with one arm to a silver ornate arch framing a dark stone deity murti, apparently adjusting or touching the arch in a temple setting. Dark red-brown tiled walls surround the silver arch, which has a carved makara-like head at its top. A white flower garland rests near the murti and a thin cord runs along the right side.
