Ornate temple worship scene with a priest in the lower left, bare-chested, wearing an orange-saffron cloth around his waist and white horizontal tilak marks on his chest and arms, reaching out toward a central deity murti. The central gilded murti stands with raised hands, wearing a green garment, jewelled necklaces and a crown, flanked by two smaller gilded figures wearing jewelled headdresses and garlands, all set within a large arched halo-like backdrop encrusted with red and white stones. Gold pillars frame the scene, with a red velvet altar cloth below and a golden base in front. The scene suggests an abhishekam or aarti-style puja at a shrine.2021-11-11A photograph of a decorated altar with three large murti statues under a gold arched frame against a green draped backdrop.
