A photograph of a temple shrine against a gold-tiled wall. Two women stand in the foreground with their backs to the camera: the one on the left, in a white top and pale trousers, raises her arm toward a large white-and-orange Hanuman murti holding a mace and a green mountain of herbs; the one in the centre wears a red patterned top and a dark head covering. On the right, a white Rama murti in a blue dhoti and garland stands with a bow, and a woman at the edge with short hair and dark clothing presses her palms together. Brass bowls with lids sit on a carved stand in front, beside a small colourful deity figure. The scene suggests puja offerings during daily worship.
