Two priests in saffron-orange dhotis and shawls stand in a temple at the Nithyanandeshwara Paramashiva Devalayam, Adi KAILASA, during Navaratri Day 2 Vishesha Dravya Homa. The foreground priest on the right holds a silver tray of round brown laddu-style offerings, with rudraksha bracelets on his wrist and white tilak-style markings on his arms. Behind him, another priest holds a second tray of similar offerings and wears a gold necklace and rudraksha mala. Smoke rises from a fire pit of logs in the lower foreground, and marigold garlands and colourful offerings are visible behind them. The lower caption reads Navaratri 2021, Day 2 - Vishesha Dravya Homa.
