A ritual scene inside a temple hall with red floor cloth and a large floral heart-shaped backdrop of yellow and orange marigolds. At centre, a man with a black turban-style headwrap, a long floral garland of white, pink and red flowers, rudraksha beads and a ceremonial sceptre stands behind a low silver-and-brass offering stand holding brass vessels and a kalasha. A bearded attendant in an orange cloth and rudraksha beads holds a brass plate to the left, and a man in white dhoti with sacred thread and a woman in a purple sari stand on the right beside silver tridents and a silver trident-and-crescent staff. Banana plants, marigold garlands and a hanging canopy frame the scene, with floral offerings on the floor. Robed devotees stand in the background.
