A man in dark reddish-brown ceremonial dhoti stands in a lit shrine doorway, wearing a long red and white flower garland around his neck, with bare feet on a tiled step. Behind him glows a deity murti framed in gold and green, draped with garlands. Two painted dvarapala guardian figures flank the doorway in multicoloured dress with green sashes and raised hands holding items. Small brass oil lamps sit on the floor and a brass bell is at right. A second robed attendant in brown stands at the left edge holding a plate. The scene is a temple shrine ritual setting.
