A seated priest with a shaved-looking topknot, bare upper body with a tattooed arm, white dhoti and sacred white markings on the chest, sits before a golden-metal murti of a deity holding a trident, wearing a crown and layered gold and red ornaments, draped in blue cloth and garlanded with orange and white flowers. He is folding a yellow and orange silk cloth on a blue-covered altar. Brass bowls of yellow and red flower petals, a row of small brass lamps, a tray with incense sticks and a kalasha-style brass vessel sit before him. Another metal figure with a garland stands on the right beside a bouquet of orange roses. This appears to be a puja and archana at a shrine. The page describes Guru Purnima Brahmotsavam bilva-leaf archana, but the priest's appearance is not sufficient to identify him.
