A bare-chested priest in an orange-and-gold dhoti, with a garland of red and white flowers and a shaved head, holds a lit camphor aarti flame before a golden-framed niche. Two orange-robed attendants stand to the left; one holds a silver tray. Inside the niche, a pair of large deity murtis are dressed in red, yellow and teal garments with crowns, garlands and necklaces, with a cobra hood above one figure. Tall brass oil lamps stand on both sides, and a red curtain frames the shrine. A small white statue of a seated figure with a garland sits at the front. The scene shows an aarti performed as part of a puja.2012-04-24A person in an orange-red robe with a rudraksha mala, white marks on the arms and forehead, stands at left with hands joined toward a shrine.
