A photograph inside a temple shrine hall under a tiled roof with a gateway pillar draped in marigold and garland strands. A golden deity murti seated on a throne-like altar is dressed with a red and gold cloth and draped with marigold garlands, with a silver lamp stand and brass oil lamps in the foreground. On the left, a seated man in an orange-saffron robe holds a lit oil lamp, and beside him a standing man in a white dhoti with a gold-bordered shawl and red-and-white garlands stands with his hands raised near the deity. Another small figure in blue and red sits among flower offerings on the lower left. The scene suggests a puja or aarti in progress.
