Ritual worship before a gilded Ganesha deity murti on a golden throne-like shrine with carved pillars and a red curtain backdrop. The murti wears a red crown, pink-and-white garland and green leaf garland, and sits on a golden peetha. Two saffron-robed young men in orange turbans and rudraksha malas perform the puja: the standing one holds a flower and a small vessel near the deity, while the kneeling one tends a brass lamp and offerings. A golden female figure holds a lamp on the right, and a golden lion stands at the left edge. Smoke rises from the offering area.
