A seated priest bare-chested in a white dhoti with a yellow border performs puja before a black stone deity murti of a goddess, adorned with white jasmine and red-orange flower garlands and gold jewellery. He wears spectacles and a sacred thread, holds a flame in one hand and a small metal vessel in the other. A silver plate with sweets and a brass bowl sit in front of him, a red and green cloth lies at left, and an orange and pink silk drape hangs behind the deity on a gold altar with smaller murtis above.

A photo of a priest seated cross-legged on a red mat in a yellow-walled temple room, bare-chested and wearing a white dhoti with a green-and-gold border. He wears a rudraksha mala and a metal bangle and holds a small object over a tray near a dark stone deity murti. The murti is decorated with a silver crown, layered gold and silver necklaces, and a blue and gold cloth, with red flower garlands at its base. Brass plates, bowls, a small brass lamp and a maroon altar cloth are set before it, while behind are a maroon-draped shrine and a deity figure in blue and gold. The scene suggests a puja being performed.

A shirtless priest kneels at the left of a gilded shrine, holding a lit oil lamp in a silver dish and an incense stick, while smoke rises from the lamp. He wears a white dhoti with a yellow border and a black rudraksha-style mala. In front of him are brass vessels, flower garlands, and offering plates. The central deity murti is dressed in red and white silk, draped with red and white flower garlands, a large bead necklace, and a crown-like headdress, with a trident-like emblem visible. Smaller pink-and-red clad murtis stand on gold pedestals beside it, decorated with garlands and jewelry. Marigolds and yellow flowers adorn the shrine, and a gold-framed background of golden decorative panels completes the scene. This appears to be a puja or aarti in progress at a temple shrine.

A priest sits cross-legged on a striped mat in a temple room performing puja before three deity murtis on a golden-yellow dais.
