His bare upper back faces the camera and his long dark hair is tied back in a knot with a rudraksha mala around his neck. He is handling a brass plate and small brass vessels, apparently preparing a puja. Behind him stand brass oil lamps, and a shrine holds deity murtis, including a four-armed figure with a crown, in front of a gold arch and red-and-purple drapery. A tiered gilded throne-like seat sits on the floor of the shrine. A date stamp in the corner reads 23 juil. 2022.2022-07-23 +1 copiesPhoto 66789172022-08-22 +1 copies
