A decorated temple shrine framed by banana plants with bunches of green bananas and hanging garlands of marigolds, orange and yellow flowers. Blue velvet drapes flank the shrine. Inside, a deity murti stands in a richly garlanded niche, with a central figure in white robes and orange and gold ornaments. A man in orange saffron robes stands at the left of the altar holding an offering tray, while another person in orange stands near the left edge. Rows of brass bowls with offerings are arranged in front of the shrine, and yellow marigold garlands hang along the platform. This appears to be a puja or abhishekam at the shrine. Some devotees stand at the far left edge.
