The murti wears a silver-and-gold garment, a golden crown, and is draped with long garlands of red, orange and yellow flowers. Two smaller attendant figures flank it, also adorned with flowers. In the foreground a bare-chested man with long hair, wearing an orange dhoti and draped in orange cloth, stands with hands joined before the murti. To the left, a second priest with white tilak and a rudraksha-style bead necklace holds a coconut. A silver bowl, a brass oil lamp, and offerings including a kalasha-like vessel and plantain-leaf items sit on the altar. A smaller garlanded idol stands at right and a golden umbrella hangs above. The scene suggests an abhishekam or puja. Smoke fills the air.2016-11-06
