Photograph inside a temple shrine with a white stone canopied structure and a framed deity picture garlanded with marigold and red flowers on the right wall. A man in an orange-saffron robe and matching orange turban stands center-left, receiving or offering a brass plate, and a priest in white dhoti with a gold border and bare upper body stands beside a black altar table holding a plate of petals and a lamp. A bare-chested man with a shaved head and a wristwatch stands at the right, and a bearded man in white and an elderly bald man appear at the left edge. The scene appears to be a ritual aarti or puja.
