Interior of a Hindu temple hall with a polished floor and gold-trimmed pedestals. In the foreground a woman in a rust-coloured printed kurta holds a brass plate with a lit oil lamp and flower petals as an aarti offering, while a man in a dark jacket stands beside her. Behind them a man in a blue checked shirt stands with hands clasped. Large painted statues line the left wall: a monkey-faced deity in orange dhoti and a white-and-gold crown, and a blue-robed figure holding a staff. In the background gold arches frame decorated deity murtis with garlands, and a framed portrait hangs on the dark rear wall. Hanging banners with bird and floral motifs decorate the columns.
