Photograph of a temple altar set up for worship. A heap of mixed flowers, including pink roses, white jasmine-type blossoms, purple and yellow blooms and green leaves, rests on a red cloth on a white-draped table. Beside it stand a pineapple, bananas and other fruit in a terracotta bowl. Two small metal deity statues are adorned with white flower garlands: one standing figure in a brown-and-gold garment at the back, and one on the right in a purple sari-style dress with a crown. A folded purple brocade cloth with gold trim sits at right, and a lit oil lamp glows in the lower right foreground. A dark brown-and-gold cloth backdrop with a printed deity image hangs behind the altar, with a garland of marigolds draped over it. No people are visible.
