A bare-chested priest in a white dhoti bends forward at a red-draped table, lighting a row of small oil lamps. Behind him a golden statue of a seated figure wearing a maroon turban, layered beaded necklaces and a red-and-gold shawl sits on a throne flanked by two golden lion-faced guardian pillars. A framed black-and-white portrait stands on the table among pink lotus flowers and a small potted plant, with a tray of gold sandals and pearl garlands at the bottom edge. The walls are unpainted concrete block with draped blue, green and red fabric behind the statue.
