A photograph of a shrine during a puja. In the foreground, a bare-chested priest in orange-saffron cloth holds a long-handled ritual fan or whisk raised toward the deities. On the shrine stand silver-toned murtis, including a standing deity in a tall crown with a decorated figure beside it, and a small gold-coloured figure at lower centre. A red and yellow canopy hangs above. A printed label on the shelf reads as a name tag beneath the murtis. The scene suggests an aarti or abhishekam at a temple altar. Only one physical person is visible.
