A photograph of a temple puja in progress. A bare-chested priest in a white dhoti with a rudraksha-style mala sits on an orange cloth, pouring from a small spoon into a plate. Beside him a woman in a navy blue and red blouse kneels, gesturing with her hands. In front are rows of small brass oil lamps, a silver bowl of white flowers and a copper vessel. On the right, a deity murti is decorated with red roses, yellow roses and white jasmine garlands, with a copper kalasha on an orange draped table. Behind them stand other draped deity figures in purple and blue cloth. Three visible people appear in the scene.
