A photograph of a long-haired person in saffron-orange robes seated on a red wooden bench inside a corrugated-roofed shelter overlooking a rocky cliff face with green scrub. The person smiles and holds a pink wrap across their lap. On the bench, a brass kalasha-style vessel, a small brass deity murti in an arched shrine frame, pink flowers, brass lamps and a small open flame sit beside them. The setting suggests a mountain temple shrine. Only one physical person is visible at the left edge, with a second orange-clad figure partly visible at the far right.
