A photograph of a temple shrine with stone carved pillars and a shrine niche decorated with marigold and red flower garlands. Inside, a deity murti sits on a golden throne with a red cloth backdrop and gilded ornaments. In front, two men in ritual dress perform worship: one in an orange sleeveless top and orange dhoti holds a brass tray, while the other in white dhoti and shawl with a rudraksha mala stands beside him. Brass lamps and an oil lamp stand in front of the shrine, and a fire burns in a fire pit to the left against an orange and white wall. The worship appears to be an aarti or puja. Two people are partially visible.
