A photo inside a temple shrine niche framed by a green cloth canopy with gold trim and a red panel carrying Sanskrit inscription. The deity murti, decorated with garlands, has a trident and a silver face or mask, and sits in a gilded alcove. In the foreground, a man with long wavy dark hair wears an orange sleeveless top and smiles toward the shrine. Other people in orange robes and white clothing move in front of the shrine, including a man with white hair in white clothes at lower left and a man in orange at right. A person in orange wrap stands in the middle. The a person candidate with long swept hair and orange clothing is distinctive enough for a probable label, but the image is cropped and partly blocked, so this is left uncertain.
