A photograph inside a dimly lit temple shrine. Several men in saffron-orange dhotis and shawls stand close together near a large ornate golden gate or framed doorway decorated with carved figures. On the right, a bare-chested man holds a tray of offerings including food, fruit and a small bowl. A shaved-headed man in orange on the left stands near the gold frame, and a tall figure with long swept-back hair wearing an orange garment stands at center, gazing toward the shrine. The scene suggests a temple puja with devotees and priests attending the deity area.
