Two priests in white dhotis and white shawls with pale turbans stand either side of an ornate gold canopy over two silver deity murtis seated on a magenta cloth. Both priests wear white garlands of white and red flowers; the left priest holds a navy and orange cloth draped over the murtis while the right priest holds the same cloth at its edge. The murtis are adorned with gold jewellery, garlands of yellow, red and green flowers surround them, and a small saffron-coloured garment is visible. Background includes a pink and yellow decorated wall with small oil lamps. The scene reads as a temple alankaram or cloth-offering ritual.
