A photograph of a temple worship scene with a figure in red robes and a long-haired head, wearing a red-and-white garland and bangles, holding a silver tray and gesturing toward two seated deity murti, both decorated with red and orange garlands. The murti sit before gold-embossed arches framed by green cloth, with a red cloth draped on the platform. White flower petals are scattered in the air, and an orange wall, a banana plant and a steel-roofed pavilion form the background. A flat brown stone platform occupies the foreground. The murti stand in for the deities; the robed figure is a priest or devotee performing puja.
