A photograph inside a temple shrine. A standing priest in white dhoti with gold-bordered cloth draped over his shoulder, bare-torsoed with an orange cloth at his waist, faces a lit shrine niche outlined by a row of orange lights. Inside the niche stands a silver deity murti and a small silver canopy, with a flame burning in a lamp beside it. A seated devotee in white clothes sits at right with his back to the camera. Tall brass oil lamps stand on either side of the shrine, and a gilded lion-footed seat with red cushion sits at the left edge. The scene looks like a puja or aarti in progress.
