Indoor photo of a small whitewashed room with a red-brown floor. A standing devotee in an orange-red garment with a white flower garland performs an aarti, holding a lit brass oil lamp over a white-cloth table set with brass bowls, a kalasha-style vessel, flowers and offerings. Behind the table, a framed portrait with a garland shows a figure in orange robes with long dark hair and a red bead necklace, draped with a magenta cloth. Two women with folded hands stand to the side: one in a pale yellow sari, one in grey; a man in white dhoti and shirt with an orange shawl stands at left with palms joined in namaskar. Orange and red flowers decorate the wall.

A woman in a white sari with gold border stands with palms joined in prayer in a tiled hall, a brass plate of offerings and banana leaf with food placed on the floor beside her.
