A bearded man with long dark hair, bare-chested and wrapped in an orange-red saffron shawl, stands in profile beside an ornate silver-toned wooden shrine. Red and orange flower garlands hang from the carved wooden canopy, and a tall pillar is wound with marigold garlands. He holds a small metal implement in both hands at the shrine's edge. Gold and silver ritual fixtures surround him, and a painted pillar with yellow floral motifs sits to the left. A caption on the image reads a copyright notice. Appearance-based candidate for a person: long swept hair, saffron shawl and ritual setting, though the identification is uncertain.
