A photograph of a temple shrine with a figure in orange robes standing with folded hands before a deity murti. The murti is decorated with gold ornaments, yellow and red cloth and marigold garlands, seated on a golden pedestal. In front stands an empty orange upholstered chair with a red cushion and a pair of wooden sandals on an orange footstool, with brass lamps and offerings on the stone platform. The figure is a standing devotee in orange, with no appearance-based cues for identity, so the person is described by role only. The scene is set in a pillared stone shrine with a striped white and red wall behind.
