Photograph inside a temple-style hall with blue walls painted with orange and red pillars. A shaved-headed priest in saffron-orange dhoti and shawl, with white ash lines on his arms, stands with his back to the camera, facing a decorated deity murti seated on a throne draped with a colourful flower garland. A large silver multi-tiered oil lamp with lit wicks stands beside him. Two bronze standing lamps flank the scene. In the background, a framed portrait shows a man in orange clothing, and two painted dvarapala figures with multiple arms stand beside the doorway. Several saffron-clad attendants sit on the floor near a puja table performing rituals.
