A temple shrine interior where a priest with a bare chest, white dhoti with green border, rudraksha mala and sacred ash on his arms and forehead performs ritual worship. He holds a small brass vessel across a brass plate as a woman in an orange saree leans in to receive or offer it. In front of them stands a brass table draped in green and gold brocade holding a bell, brass lamps, incense sticks, a covered brass container and a tray of flowers and offerings. Behind them is a black stone abhishekam basin and dark metal deity murtis, one flanked by two figures in orange cloth. A gilded arched frame surrounds the central altar, and a deity with blue garments and a crown stands at left. A partially visible person in green silk and rudraksha beads sits at lower right.
