A standing priest in white dhoti and white shawl faces a lit shrine niche with an ornate oil lamp and a deity murti under an arched doorway with orange-red lighting.

Devotees stand in a dense group with palms pressed together in namaskar. Men in white dhotis and shirts, several bare-chested men wearing rudraksha malas and yellow cloths, and women in saris stand with white sacred ash marks on their foreheads and arms. A small framed picture hangs on the left wall. The camera is slightly blurred, and the scene appears to be a devotional gathering or puja.2006-10-25Photo inside a temple interior with marble-patterned walls and a wall clock.
