A photograph of a temple shrine heavily decorated with marigold and yellow flower garlands draped on pillars. A seated woman in an orange sari with flowers in her hair sits with hands folded in anjali before a large seated deity murti in green and gold garments, with a crown and decorated arms. In front, a white-robed priest in a flower garland sits on the floor facing the murti beside a brass lamp stand and a long row of metal bowls set with offerings of fruit. A red curtain hangs behind them. A few other people are partially visible at the left edge. The scene suggests a puja or abhishekam during a temple ceremony.
