A barefoot man in a saffron-orange dhoti and matching upper cloth bows forward at the edge of a stone shrine platform, hands at his sides, head lowered. Beside him, orange curtains hang from red-and-white pillars. On the raised stone altar stand brass oil lamps and a gold-coloured vessel, with a white figure and a deity murti with a decorated gold face, dressed in yellow and blue cloth and garlanded with yellow-orange marigold strands. Brass lamps and a metal railing with garlands are visible behind, under a rain-dampened covered courtyard with palm trees beyond.
