A photograph of a devotee in an orange robe and maroon sash bowing forward with his forehead resting on a grey stone ledge, hands pressed to the stone, a dark rudraksha mala hanging from his neck. Behind him, a brass oil lamp and small brass vessels sit on a stone altar beside a garland-draped deity murti in orange robes with a crown, hands raised in blessing. A red curtain and a red-and-white striped wall frame the temple interior. The figure bowing is a devotee, not a confirmed identity; the statue is a deity murti.
