In the foreground a man in an orange sleeveless top and red-orange cloth draped over his shoulders stands with palms pressed together in namaskar, head bowed toward a carved stone shrine with a lion-faced pillar and a garlanded stone ledge of red, yellow and white flowers. An orange curtain hangs beside the shrine. Behind him, several priests in white dhotis with red borders, bare upper bodies, sandalwood and vibhuti marks and gold-bead garlands carry a brass tray and a small silver vessel. A blackboard with white writing hangs on the wall. The man in the foreground has long hair tied in a bun and a gold necklace, but the image does not establish whether he is a person, so the a person value is unsure.2010-10-18 +1 copiesA man stands barefoot with palms pressed together in anjali mudra under a corrugated-roof shrine verandah, facing a colourfully painted deity murti at the right edge. He wears a red-orange dhoti with gold borders, a bare upper body, a multicolour flower garland of yellow and pink blooms, a brown rudraksha mala, and gold armlets.
