A photograph of a temple shrine seen from behind a standing figure with long matted dreadlocks, wearing a rust-red turban, bare-backed with a red-brown cloth and beaded multicolour garland around the neck and metal armbands. The figure reaches toward a silver shivalinga-style object. Behind, two large golden deity murtis wear crowns and ornaments, one in purple and gold robes, framed by heavy garlands of red, yellow, white and green flowers. A pink floral garland hangs near an ornate pink-and-gold arched frame in the foreground, with a small gold figure and a red embroidered cloth below. The figure's identity is not established by visible cues here.
