A priest in an orange-brown dhoti and shawl, with white sacred markings on his bare chest and arms and a shaved head, holds a silver multi-wick lamp lit with flames toward a gilded deity murti. The murti stands on a golden peacock vehicle with a purple cloth base, decorated with multicoloured flower garlands and a golden arch behind it. A white pedestal fan and an air-conditioning unit stand nearby against a pale wall with a window, and dark red curtains frame the stage.
