A man in a maroon-red sannyasi robe with a rudraksha mala and white garland stands before a shrine, smiling and raising both hands in greeting, with a white tilak on his forehead. Behind him are three ornately dressed sculptures: a standing figure with an orange turban and white garland on the left, a central figure in orange and pink robes with a crown and arms raised, and a figure with a red turban and garland on the right. A silver kalasha and a shivalinga with gold trim and white garlands sit in front, with a golden arched frame behind. The man's appearance does not clearly match the a person cues, so he is described only as a devotee and the identity is marked unsure.
