A photograph inside a temple shrine area with a stone wall and a beaded curtain. On the left, a man with long dreadlocks, bare-chested and wearing rudraksha malas, stands with palms pressed together in namaskar, head bowed toward a dark stone deity murti behind him. On the right, a bare-chested priest in a white dhoti and sacred thread holds a silver plate with a lit oil lamp and ash or kumkum, looking toward the other man. Brass lamps are visible at right. The scene suggests a puja or aarti offering.
