Photograph from behind of a person with very long dark hair falling down the back, wearing a red-and-gold ornamented headdress with gold rings and a jewelled brooch, a red sleeveless blouse, and a leopard-print lower garment. The raised arm wears a gold ring and red beaded bangles. In the foreground a small golden-brown stone deity murti with a crown-like headdress sits beside a large ornately carved gold pillar and a deep red curtain. A partially visible second person in white stands at the left edge. The figure's head-wrap and long locks suggest a sannyasi or ritual presenter rather than a confirmed identity, so no identification is made.
