A photograph inside a temple shrine showing a man in saffron-orange robes standing at left, holding a lit brass oil lamp (aarti) toward a golden deity murti. The murti is a seated figure with a red turban-like crown and golden armour, flanked by a garland of yellow marigolds and red-purple flowers arranged in a golden arch. In front of the murti is a red and orange cloth-draped platform with a small white seated statue, possibly a sage or devotee figure, and an orange satin cloth. Tall brass lamp stands with bird finials line the right side. The man's face is not visible enough to identify, and no clearly visible a person appearance cues are present.
