Behind him, a black stone deity murti wears garlands of yellow and red flowers with purple accents, set against an orange-red temple structure with greenery beyond. a person appears to be the figure in the saffron shawl and rudraksha mala, though the photo does not clearly establish his identity; the depicted person is seated in meditation before the garlanded murti.
