A photograph inside a temple shrine. In the foreground a person in an orange saffron robe with long dark hair bows forward at the stone ledge, one finger pointing toward a seated figure. Beyond, a white statue in a pink and gold garment with a golden turban-like headpiece sits on a golden pedestal. The pedestal is decorated with garlands of yellow and red flowers, and brass lamps and vessels stand along the ledge. Behind the statue hangs a gold and orange textile. The seated figure is a statue, not a physical person.
