A photograph inside a temple hall showing a long-haired man in a rust-orange (saffron) dhoti and shawl with a rudraksha-style mala, standing barefoot on a striped red mat beside a decorated deity murti draped in a gold-and-red silk cloth and heavy garlands of marigold, red and green leaves. He holds a small vessel and attends the puja. A brass vessel with flower offerings sits on a low stool in the foreground, with brass lamps nearby. A black bull statue (Nandi) and framed pictures line the background, along with purple silk draping. The image is a photo of a puja, showing an abhishekam-style offering.
