A man with long, swept-back grey-black hair and a full beard stands in profile at the left edge, bare-shouldered and wrapped in a saffron-orange shawl, gazing toward a stone doorway of a weathered ancient temple with carved pillars and lintels. Through the doorway a golden-orange draped deity murti stands inside a dim shrine, with a small figure in blue near the entrance and a lower table of offerings. The man's distinctive long hair and orange wrap are visible cues.
