Photograph of a devotee at a temple ritual, eyes closed and palms pressed together in anjali mudra. He wears a crown of pink flowers over his dark hair, a red and white garland of flowers around his neck, gold bangles and gold armlets, and a gold chest ornament. Behind him, several men with rudraksha malas and wrapped saffron-brown cloths stand in the same devotional posture, one holding a kalasha-like vessel on the left and another a tray on the right. The setting is an outdoor temple courtyard with yellow walls. The man in front shows no clear, distinctive appearance cues for a person and is shown as a devotee, so identity is unsure.
