A photograph of a ritual scene inside a richly decorated shrine hall. On the left, a smiling person with long dark hair and a white garland sits on a gold-trimmed throne draped in red velvet, behind a large floral arrangement of orange, yellow and red marigolds. Before the throne, a figure in white dhoti with bare back kneels with head bowed, while another person in an orange-brown robe stands at right holding a silver tray of fruit. Behind them stands a gold-framed niche holding a white-and-gold deity murti garlanded with white flowers, and at far right a garlanded deity murti sits beneath a gold arch. The walls are painted blue and pink with ornate temple motifs and a green-curtained doorway.
