Inside a temple shrine, a bare-chested priest in a white dhoti and an orange-and-cream turban sits at left, holding a lamp or aarti plate toward a golden statue seated on a throne. The golden statue wears a maroon-red shawl, layered gold necklaces and a red turban, with white and pink flower garlands and a large pile of pink and red petals in front. Behind it is a gold-framed arch and a dark deity murti with a crown and garland. A white sign with red lettering stands near the statue, and a small framed photograph sits on a decorated wooden stand with a garland at right. Gold oil lamps flank the shrine and a carved wooden door is at right. The scene reflects an aarti or puja being performed.
