Photograph of a dark stone altar set with a row of black stone deity murti figures, including a figure with a hooded serpent canopy and figures with raised hands in namaste-like poses, with rust-red powder at their bases. Behind the altar, a person in a saffron-orange garment with a blue wrap is partly visible, pouring liquid from a brass kalasha pot over the murtis in an abhishekam. Dark maroon curtains hang on the left and a yellow wall stands behind. Only one person is visible, and the figure is partially hidden behind the altar.
