Inside a stone temple doorway with carved pillars, several men in saffron and white ritual clothing perform a puja. A woman in an orange sari with a gold necklace and bangles lights an oil lamp on a silver tray holding flowers and a small metal bowl, while a shirtless man wearing rudraksha malas holds the tray. A bare-chested man in orange with a shaved head and sandalwood tilak stands at left, and a man in white with a yellow-bordered cloth and rudraksha mala watches. Yellow walls and a metal gate frame the scene.
