A priest in orange-saffron robes and an orange turban stands at left in a small shrine room, bending forward to tend a small flame or lamp on a red-cloth-covered altar. Behind him, golden and ornate murtis dominate the shrine: a gilded throne-like canopy holds a seated golden figure, a golden deity figure wears a garland of white flowers and a rudraksha-style mala, and a metal trident stands upright at the centre-right. Red and orange cloth draping surrounds the altar, with brass lamps and a golden kalasha-like vessel visible on the right. The scene is a puja set-up with statues and no visible living audience.
