Photograph of a temple shrine niche lit by a glowing arch of lights. A bare-chested priest with a shaved head and a black beaded headband, wearing a rust-red dhoti with gold border and a gold necklace, holds a lamp toward a gilded deity shrine with a Nataraja-style bronze, flowers and brass vessels in front. A second man in a matching red dhoti with a beaded necklace stands beside him, and a person in white clothes stands at the right edge with hands folded. The shrine holds an oil lamp flame and a kalasha-topped gopuram. Scene shows a puja at the altar; the bare-chested priest's appearance is not distinctive enough to confirm identity.
