A photograph taken through a doorway of a shrine room showing a priestess performing aarti with a lit oil lamp before a deity murti. The murti is adorned with heavy white and red jasmine garlands and gold ornaments, seated on a gold cloth over a teal base, with two smaller figures flanking it. In the foreground a green silk-draped shivalinga with a white flower garland and a rudraksha mala sits on the floor. The woman wears a maroon sari with gold border, a red-and-white garland around her neck and a bangle on her wrist, her back to the camera. Incense smoke rises in the room. The scene shows a ritual puja at the shrine.
