Interior shrine doorway view of a devotional ritual. A woman in an orange-red saree with gold border stands at the left, her back to the camera, holding a lit oil lamp toward a small shrine. Behind her, a man in white dhoti with a gold border, bare-chested, performs the ritual with his right arm raised. The shrine has a white carved arch with a lion-like motif, strings of red and white flower garlands, and a lit oil lamp flame in front of a framed deity image. Brass kalashas and vessels sit on the shrine platform, with scattered flower petals on the floor.
