A photograph of a priest in a white dhoti with a pink and white shawl and a bright orange-red sequined cap, seen from behind, reaching up to adjust or place a golden crown-like finial onto an ornate deity murti. The murti is draped in layered garlands of purple, yellow, red and green flowers with white blossoms and jewelled ornaments, and a large gold ceremonial arch with floral carving stands behind. The priest's bare upper back and gold bangle and red thread on his wrist are visible. The scene suggests a decorating or alankaram moment during worship.
