A photograph inside an ornate temple hall shows a bare-chested priest in a green and yellow dhoti and an orange shawl, wearing glasses and a gold bangle, raising his arm to adorn a large deity murti. The murti is heavily decorated with layered garlands of red, yellow, white and green flowers and leaves, and a gold and purple jewelled ornament. Elaborate painted ceiling panels, pillars with gold and colourful finials, and hanging yellow and blue tassels frame the scene. A man's arm is visible at the lower left edge. This appears to be a temple ritual of flower decoration on a murti.
