Temple ritual inside an unfinished hall with exposed scaffolding and bamboo poles. Three priests attend a golden-framed deity murti decorated with red and white flower garlands and green leaves. A priest in the foreground, bare-chested with a yellow and blue dhoti, holds a tray and offers incense smoke over the altar. Another priest in a white dhoti and yellow-bordered cloth stands nearby with a shawl over his shoulder. A tiered stone yagna altar with flower garlands and white offerings sits before them, along with a red-draped table, brass lamps and a jackfruit.
