Indoor temple puja in a shrine room with maroon curtains and a golden arched frame holding a small deity murti. A seated man, bare-chested with a white dhoti and sacred ash on his body, rings a brass bell and holds a small lamp over a golden plate of flowers and red powder. Beside him, a standing man in a white dhoti with gold border and a white face mask holds his hands folded. A large golden standing deity statue with a trident and a blue sari-like cloth, garlanded with flowers, stands to the right. Rows of small oil lamps sit on a pink cloth in front, with orange and red flowers in the foreground. Visible people: two.
