A person in an orange and gold garment bends low and presses their forehead against the carved stone edge of a temple structure, one hand resting on the stone. Their long dark hair falls forward and they wear multiple strands of rudraksha beads around the neck and arms. The stone has carved floral and scrollwork detail, and red and white painted walls appear in the background. The posture reads as a devotional obeisance at a temple shrine.
