A photograph inside a temple shrine during a puja. A bare-chested man in white dhoti with a rudraksha mala sits cross-legged on an orange silk cloth, holding a small silver bowl and a plate of offerings. In front of him a woman in a blue blouse and peach sari lies prostrate with her forehead on the cloth. Before them is a row of ornate gold lamps and a brass bowl of white rice-like offering. To the right, roses, yellow flowers and white petals are arranged beside a copper kalasha on an orange cloth. Behind them, decorated deity murtis in purple and blue garments with garlands stand in the shrine, and a tripod light stand is visible on the left.
