A photograph inside a temple shrine. A man in orange sannyasi robes with a red bindi and a rudraksha mala sits on a carved wooden chair with palms pressed together in prayer. Beside him a woman in a green blouse and pink sari sits on the floor. Three women in saris, one in red and one in a white-and-blue patterned shawl, kneel on the dark floor facing him, with a woman in white sleeveless top seen from behind in the foreground. To the left stands a large black-faced deity murti with gold crown and jewellery, draped in a pink silk garment and garlands of red, white and green flowers. Offerings sit on a small wooden table and in baskets with fruit and flowers, alongside incense sticks and brass vessels. Gold-framed arches and a silver curtain frame the scene.
