A photograph of a lone figure seen from behind on a stage, standing before an ornate golden shrine with an arched frame and gilded pillars carved with figures. The person has long dark hair falling down the back, a small ornament in the hair, and wears an orange-brown saffron wrap draped over one shoulder, with bare arms and a bangle. Hanging brass bells and a dark red curtain frame the scene, and smoke drifts across the stage in pink and violet light. Brass oil lamps and a kalasha-like vessel sit near the base, with a deity murti visible inside the shrine. The figure stands in a posture of devotion before the altar, with no visible face, and is a person rather than a statue. There are no legible printed names in the scene.

Smoke and orange lighting fill the stage, with brass lamps and a kneeling carved animal figure in the foreground.

The figure has very long dark hair hanging down the back, a small crescent-shaped ornament at the crown, and wears an orange-brown draped garment with a bare shoulder and arm. One hand rests on the hip while the other holds a trident-like staff. Smoke or incense haze drifts through the air, and hanging brass bells with an ornate golden peetha or pedestal stand in front.
