A photograph of a priest in an orange-saffron garment with a marigold and red flower garland over his shoulders, standing at left with his back partly to the camera and raising red flower petals toward a richly decorated deity murti. The murti stands in a golden arched niche with a gold crown, layered gold necklaces, red and green garlands, and marigold garlands draped over it, flanked by smaller decorated figures. The covered open-air shrine has a pale green cloth below and a gold kalasha-like vessel at the base, with a red-and-white pillared wall behind.
