The title on this glass negative, "Harihara," is recorded as unverified, but it most likely names a place or deity rather than a person. Harihara is a town on the Tungabhadra River in what is now Karnataka, India, and its temple honors a combined form of Shiva and Vishnu, a figure that appears in Hindu art across the subcontinent. The negative is dated August 3, 1923, based on a related negative, and it came to the Library of Congress as a 1947 gift from Herbert A. French. Look closely and you may see streaks and blemishes, which come from deterioration in the original glass coating.
