Photograph inside a shrine niche lit by a ring of warm orange bulbs. A bare-chested man in an orange dhoti with gold-bordered wrap bends forward at a gilded shrine, pointing at a small white marble tray set before deity murti and gilt shrine figures, with pink flowers placed on a silver tray. Beside him stands a second man in an orange silk robe with gold border, a gold necklace of beads, a gold armlet and a beaded headband, hands clasped in front of him as he watches. Sandalwood-coloured stone walls and a white carved archway frame the scene.
