Two bare-chested priests sit cross-legged on a blue cloth before a deity murti adorned with a crown, gold necklaces and garlands of yellow marigolds and red flowers, seated on a purple cloth with orange border. On the left a priest with long grey hair tied up, wearing a face mask, holds his hands to his head in reverence beside a rudraksha mala. On the right a priest in white dhoti with gold border, wearing glasses and a face mask, sits at a microphone chanting. Before them are trays of fruit including mangoes, oranges, bananas and dates, a copper kalasha with pink and white roses, brass lamps and a silver bowl. A ceremonial puja offering is being made in a temple setting with gold-framed arch behind the deity.
