Two bare-chested priests sit cross-legged on an orange cloth during a puja in a temple shrine, flanked by gold-and-black deity murtis draped with garlands of marigolds and pink flowers. The priest on the left, with long hair tied up and a rudraksha mala, sits with hands folded. The priest on the right, with a shaved head and white dhoti, reads from a book and holds a phone. Brass and silver trays hold bananas, rose petals, fruit, flowers and brass cups, and an oil lamp stands at the left edge. Two orange-clad figures appear on the back shrine, and the setting suggests a Navaratri puja to Devi Annapoorneshwari.
