A photograph inside a temple hall during a morning worship service. Seated devotees in white and cream clothing, mostly seen from behind, fill the foreground and face a large decorated shrine. The shrine holds two deity murtis draped in multicoloured flower garlands, one with a red background and yellow cloth. Below them a framed picture garlanded with marigolds sits on a golden throne-like seat. In the background, seated figures in saffron and cream robes, including one in orange, sit near the shrine. Steel railings separate the seating areas, and a purple logo appears at the lower left corner.
