A priest stands at the left edge of a shrine, bare-chested with a yellow turban and a dark bead mala with gold ornaments, wearing a white dhoti with gold border. He holds a steel plate of white crystalline offerings, a small pile of yellow grains, and green-and-red bangles or cloth bundles beneath it. Behind him three decorated deity murtis sit on a red-and-gold platform under a carved golden canopy, garlanded with multicoloured flower strings, with brass pots of flowers in front. Smoke rises from a blue-grey base near the deities, and a white chalk lotus kolam is drawn on the floor in the foreground.
