Several bare-chested men in white dhotis sit in a row behind black stone lingams set on round metal bases, pouring or tending offerings with small vessels in their hands. The man nearest the camera on the right has short grey hair, a dark cord necklace and white dhoti, and holds a small brass vessel. Warm lamp light glows behind them, and a stone pillared hall is visible in the background. Five to six priests are visible in total.
