A photograph of a standing man in an orange-brown ochre robe with a matching shawl over the shoulder and a long rudraksha-style bead mala around his neck, his left arm bandaged in white and his right hand raised in greeting. Behind him stands an ornate gold arch framing two decorated deity murtis seated on a red silk-draped platform, garlanded with red roses and yellow marigolds, one wearing a purple garment with a silver crown and the other in a red sari with a jewelled crown. A blue ocean wave backdrop and a standing fan sit at the right edge, with dark maroon curtains behind. The man's appearance is consistent with a person, given his saffron-ochre robes and rudraksha mala, though the image alone is not conclusive.
