Interior temple hall at the Anandeshwari Temple in Hyderabad, decorated for a Gurupurnima celebration. A man in saffron robes stands bent over a fire pit, holding a tray or offering while a flame rises from the pit. Nearby, a figure in saffron sits on a wicker-backed sofa draped with a white and red flower garland, with a deity murti beside it. Brass lamps, fruit, flowers and white-wrapped packets lie on the floor. Two seated people in the background and a small child watch.
