Photo of a temple shrine decorated with marigold and multicoloured flower garlands around gilded deity murtis. Two priests in saffron-orange dhotis and shirts stand at left, one holding a tray of offerings and a bowl. A person in white dhoti and shawl with long dark curly hair leans forward at the centre, pouring or offering from a large silver pot-shaped vessel lit by lamp flame. A small white statue with red headpiece and garland sits in front. Brass lamps and vessels fill the stone ledge, with a yellow flower strand along the bottom edge. Looks like an abhishekam or puja.
