A photograph of a temple shrine with two large deity murtis seated under a gilded arch, one with a trident and crown, the other in a purple sari with a gold crown, both draped in yellow and red-and-white garlands. In front, a white-clad figure sits on a white cloth beside a golden palanquin heaped with flowers. A man in saffron robes sits at left near brass vessels, fruit and flower offerings, while a standing saffron-clad man at right holds a microphone and folds his hands. Brass lamps and a stone temple structure with carved pillars frame the scene. The ritual appears to be an abhishekam and puja to the deity murtis.
