A barefoot person with long dark hair, wearing an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl, stands with hands joined in namaskar before a shrine in an open courtyard. Inside the shrine, a deity murti dressed in blue with a golden crown and floral garlands stands beside a golden arched niche. A brass oil lamp sits on a white-draped platform in front of the murti. Behind the figure, two people in white ritual clothing and a woman in a teal sari stand with hands joined near a wooden seat. Red pillars and orange cloth hang around the stone shrine. The appearance-based cues on the central figure are long hair and saffron clothing, but the figure's face and identity cannot be confirmed from the image, so the a person field is unsure.
