A photograph of a Varalakshmi Puja in a temple hall. At left, a priest in orange robes stands at a raised platform holding a lit oil lamp aloft toward a shrine. Two dark stone or metal dvarapala-style guardian figures flank a central shrine decorated with pink and white flowers and green leaves. Seated devotees fill the foreground, mostly women with long braided hair, wearing yellow, peach, teal, green and pink saris and salwars with flowers in their hair. A framed portrait on the right shows a seated figure with garlands on a red cushioned seat. Brass pooja vessels and offerings sit before the shrine. No specific a person appearance is identifiable here.
