A photograph of an indoor temple ritual. A bare-chested man with matted hair piled on his head sits cross-legged at the lower left, wearing an orange-saffron cloth draped over his shoulder and waist, and extends his arm toward an ornate golden throne-like shrine. The shrine holds a silver-toned deity murti seated centrally with a tall crown and a smaller companion figure beside it, flanked by golden lion figures and additional deity figures in red, purple and blue garments on a green cloth. Tall brass oil lamps stand on either side, and brass plates, bowls and a small lamp sit on a striped mat in front of the shrine. Plates of offerings and small vessels are arranged around the priest, with a sparkling golden backdrop behind the altar.
