A bare-chested priest in an orange dhoti and orange shawl stands at left, holding a lit lamp or camphor flame toward an ornately decorated deity murti at centre. The murti wears a jewelled crown, gold and multicoloured necklaces, and is surrounded by garlands of white, red, pink, green and yellow flowers in a golden arched shrine against red drapery. A caption reads Shatmurthy Deeparadhana, Nithyanandeshwara Paramashiva Brahmotsavam - Day 9. The priest's cues are ordinary ritual attire, not a distinctive a person appearance, so no identification is made.
