A photograph inside a temple shrine where a deity murti stands decorated with garlands, ornate gold crown and jewelled adornments on a flower-decorated pedestal. A single person in saffron-orange robes stands at right, raising one hand toward the deity, with a brass oil lamp on a stand and brass vessels and lamps in front. Flower garlands in red, white and green hang around the murti and the shrine frame; a framed portrait hangs on the wall above. The person's face and any identity are not assessed. Activity appears to be an abhishekam or puja at the altar.
