A photograph inside a corrugated metal shipping container crammed with temple items. A man with white-grey hair and beard, wearing an orange saffron robe and red sandals, walks away from the camera holding a wooden walking stick, with another person in dark clothing behind him. Around them are wooden carved panels, a red-cushioned chair, brass deity figures, a bronze Nataraja dancing Shiva statue on the right, a pink and gold cloth bundle, coiled rope and burlap sacks on the floor.
