A photograph of a person in an orange saffron garment bent forward with their head resting on a grey granite platform, one hand pressed flat on the stone. The long, tangled, greying hair falls forward over the face. Behind the stone are a row of polished brass pots, kalasha-style vessels and a brass lamp on a ledge, with a stone deity or guardian figure at the left edge. Sunlight falls across the scene. The gesture suggests prostration or prayer at a shrine. Only the back and hair of the person are visible; no face is shown.
