A bald, bare-chested man in an orange dhoti with gold-bordered sash stands in a temple doorway holding pink flowers, wearing a dark rudraksha mala and gold beaded necklace, with white ash markings on his forehead and arms. Behind him is a gilded ornamental arch and a tray of pink petals on a stand. Gold ornate murti or decor is visible at the lower left edge. The man has distinctive long necklaces and orange clothing, but the presentation is an unclear fit for a confident identification; he is described by role as a devotee or priest in a temple setting.
