Interior temple scene of a shrine with a copper-domed canopy (kalasha-style cover) decorated with green leaves, pink flowers and fruit offerings on a brass stand. A priest in orange-saffron robes stands at left holding a lit flame or lamp near a square white-tiled fire pit (homa/yagna kund) with ash. Two dark stone dvarapala-style guardian figures flank the shrine, and a deity murti is visible in the background niche. Several women in green and grey saris with flowers in their hair sit in the foreground with their backs partly to the camera, along with a few other heads at the bottom edge. The priest appears to be a robed ritual officiant, and his face is not clearly visible, so no identification is made.
