A man in an orange saffron robe with a dark rudraksha mala around his neck stands at a stone ledge in a temple courtyard, hands folded in anjali mudra and gazing upward. Beside him is a brass lamp with a flame on a small plate and a brass offering dish. At left a white and red deity murti sits, its hand raised. Behind are red-washed walls, a carved stone pillar and a red curtain. Smoke or incense drifts in the background. The man's appearance does not clearly match a distinctive identity, so he is described by role as a devotee at prayer.
