A temple ritual before a decorated shrine with two silver deity murtis, one wearing a tall gold crown and orange headdress with a gold necklace, the other with a smaller crown and teal blouse. Both are draped in layered red, yellow and green flower garlands and stand on a magenta silk cloth with gold border. Two priests in white dhoti and cream turban stand on either side; one raises a green-and-white cloth canopy over the murtis while the other holds the garland. Ornate gold arch frames the shrine, with a pink-robed figure visible at the far right edge.
