A photo of a devotee in an orange sleeveless top and orange wrap, seen from behind with hands pressed together in namaskar before a silver-framed shrine. Inside, a black stone deity murti stands adorned with red and white flower garlands, a white and gold crown, and red-and-gold skirt draping, flanked by brass oil lamps and a small green-robed figure with a red garland at its base. A pink cloth with a brass plate of offerings lies in front. The a person field is unsure because no face is visible, and the figure is shown from behind in orange, which is not enough to establish identity.
