A photograph of a temple ritual with a richly decorated deity murti set in a golden arched shrine, draped with long garlands of red, yellow, green and orange flowers. Two bald priests in saffron-orange dhotis kneel at the lower right, one bending forward and one with hands joined in prayer, while a third priest in saffron stands at the left edge tending the area. Brass and gold ritual objects, a yellow-cloth covered stand, and a green and magenta draped altar fill the foreground. A second golden shrine with a standing figure in green and orange garlands appears at the right. The scene reads as puja or abhishekam activity.
