An outdoor photo of a seated figure in orange robes on a low wooden seat atop a folded mat, centred in a circular tiled platform with a white and coloured kolam border. The figure has long dark hair and a thin gold headband, and sits with hands folded in the lap. Beside them is a brass kalasha-style vessel. Behind stands a black stone Nandi bull draped in a white cloth and marigold garland, on a red-orange pedestal. Surrounding them are grey stone deity murtis and a red-orange shrine structure with palm trees behind. The setting appears to be a temple courtyard with a red boundary wall.
