Ritual scene in a temple hall during a homa or puja. In the foreground, a bare-chested priest in white dhoti with an orange shawl leans forward over a fire pit of burning flames. Another priest in white dhoti and a maroon-trimmed cloth bends low beside him, holding a metal plate of red petals. A standing priest in a blue head cloth and green shawl, wearing a striped white dhoti, pours liquid from a silver spouted vessel over a white kalasha topped with yellow flowers. Behind them stands a golden deity murti and flower garlands sit on the floor. A dark carved wooden door with brass studs is at left.
