A photograph of a temple shrine in which a bare-chested priest with a swept-back topknot, white ash markings on his body and a rudraksha mala, wrapped in an orange cloth, holds a lit oil lamp aarti toward a golden-framed shrine. Two standing deity murti figures flank the central wooden doors, painted in blue, red and gold. Trident-shaped staffs stand at the sides, and two people in orange garments sit below the altar area in front of the priest, with a third person partly visible at the bottom edge, performing puja.
