Photograph inside a gold-decorated shrine hall during a devotional event. A man on the left wears a rust-red turban, a rudraksha mala with ceremonial gold-bead necklaces, and orange-gold garments, smiling as he offers oranges from a pile; he has a silver staff beside him. Beside him, a shaved-headed priest in rust-red and saffron robes with a rudraksha mala stands and looks down. Behind them are ornate gold thrones, a green curtain, and deity murtis draped in flower garlands. A man in a white shirt and glasses stands at right, and children in light blue and striped shirts reach toward the fruit.
