A woman in a white sari with a gold border stands in a temple shrine room, holding a lit multi-wick brass aarti lamp in both hands raised before the deities. To the left stands a dark-blue murti of a deity in orange and gold garments with a crown, a conch-like object and heavy jewelled necklaces. On the right, a golden seated figure wearing a red-and-gold turban and marigold garlands sits between two golden lion sculptures. Offerings of fruit, a coconut and flower garlands rest on a table draped in green and magenta cloth, and brass puja vessels and banana leaves lie on the red floor. A silver-toned cabinet with ornate doors stands at right. The scene reads as an aarti puja, with deity murti rather than any person identified.
