Photograph inside a temple shrine during a puja. A standing man in a white dhoti with gold border and a white shawl, wearing a red-and-white flower garland, holds a lit oil lamp (deepam) toward a large golden deity murti seated on a golden throne decorated with yellow and orange marigold garlands and a dark red cloth backdrop. Two people in saffron-orange robes sit to the left beside brass plates of offerings, with one pressing palms together in prayer. Tall polished brass lamps and ornate silver-brass vessels stand on the right, and a flower-decorated pillar frames the left. Outdoor view through the open shrine entrance shows a white-roofed structure and trees.
