Photograph of a temple-style ritual stage with a gilded arch and red-draped throne holding a central deity murti, a crowned figure in white and gold ornaments with a tilak and rudraksha-style necklace, flanked by two smaller figures in red and gold. Marigold and rose garlands drape the throne. Two priests in white dhotis, one wearing a green-and-gold shawl, sit barefoot with garlands and hands resting on knees before three decorated kalasha pots with mango leaves and coconuts, oil lamps and brass vessels in front. No visible person matches a specific identity, and the central figure is a statue rather than a living presence.
