A photograph inside a Buddhist temple hall with white columns and a red carpet. A man in an orange-saffron dhoti-style garment and a yellow-orange shawl stands barefoot with his hands folded at a shrine, wearing a long gold-and-yellow flower garland. Beside him, a man in white ritual clothes with a dark beaded necklace stands at the edge of the frame. The shrine holds a gilded Buddha image in a tree-shaped backdrop, a golden seated monk statue, marigolds and white flowers, water bottles, and two yellow donation boxes on the red carpet. A small dog walks across the polished floor. The left-side figure is partly cropped.
