A photograph of a man bowing forward with his head pressed against a dark grey stone carved with floral and scroll reliefs. He wears a deep brown-red turban with a diamond-studded ornament, a brown-red shawl over bare shoulders, a brown-red dhoti with gold border, gold bangles on his arm, and a long garland of yellow and white flowers with red roses and green leaves. A small gold-framed shrine with flowers sits in the background, and a brass lamp stands at the upper left. Nothing visible confirms a specific identity, so the person is described by role as a devotee at worship.
