A photograph of a temple interior with gold-coloured ritual objects. In the foreground, a man in red and gold dhoti-style clothing wears a rudraksha mala and a gold pendant, with red tilak and gold armbands, while holding a small object. Beside him, an older man with long grey hair tied up, glasses, a white beard and a long grey mala wears an orange robe with a maroon-and-gold border and orange shawl, and reaches toward a metal deity murti. Behind them a younger man in a light blue shirt looks on. A gold-canopied palanquin or chariot frame, brass bells, a decorated drum with teal fabric, and books on a table fill the background. Three people are visible.
