On the right, a man in white dhoti and white shawl stands barefoot on a dark stone walkway with palms pressed together in namaskar, wearing a rudraksha mala. Behind him, a person in saffron/orange robes stands partly visible. Reddish earth and greenery surround the shrine.

An outdoor photograph in a shaded grove of large trees. A standing figure in a long-sleeved orange-saffron robe and orange dhoti, with long dark hair swept back, presses palms together in namaskar before a shrine. The shrine holds a dark murti draped in orange cloth and marigold garlands, set within a white arched frame, with a heap of red kumkum or red powder piled at its base. Two bald men in white dhotis, one holding a white cloth, stand to the right at a distance. The floor before the shrine is a dark polished stone slab.
