Inside a stone temple chamber at Angkor Wat, a large carved multi-armed deity statue stands behind an altar draped in an orange-gold cloth, with a golden base and multiple arms. Offerings are arranged on the altar: bowls of food, a tray, a conch-like vessel, and two green-and-red decorated kalasha-style pots. A bald man in white ritual clothing on the right holds lit incense sticks and smiles. On the left, a person in an orange saffron garment stands with long dark hair seen from behind, and another man in white stands further back. The scene is a puja at the statue.
