Photograph of a dimly lit temple interior during a puja, with several richly decorated deity murtis under garlands of flowers. A central shrine holds a large deity figure with a red and gold garland, flanked by two smaller murtis; gilded arched shrines frame murtis on the left and right, and tall decorated pillars with painted patterns rise behind. Fruit and offerings are arranged before the shrine. Seated devotees fill the foreground in silhouette, some in white and orange clothing, and a brass vessel sits at lower left.
