A person with long dreadlocked black hair, wearing a rust-orange draped garment and a long white and red flower garland with a rudraksha mala, bends forward and presses their head and hands against a dark stone altar or lingam pedestal in a temple. Brass lamps and flowers are visible in the background, and a carved stone lion-faced figure stands behind. The person appears to be performing devotional worship at a shrine. Identity is unsure from appearance alone.
