A photograph inside a small shrine with orange and yellow painted columns and a black panel behind them, decorated with paper flower and star garlands and a hanging brass bell. A man with long, swept-back dark hair and bare upper body wears a loose orange cloth, standing with hands folded before the shrine; a person candidate by long hair and orange garment but appearance is not distinctive enough to confirm. A woman in a red and green sari with purple blouse and bangles stands beside him facing the shrine. Brass vessels, a copper plate and small lamps sit on a low table at right, near a painted deity murti. A tiled floor and rough stone wall frame the scene, with a silver ceiling canopy above.
