Two men in saffron-orange robes stand before a shrine niche in a stone-walled hall. The man on the left, bare-chested with a saffron wrap, has his arms raised in greeting and wears a long white flower garland, rudraksha mala beads, a gold necklace and a tilak on his forehead. The man on the right, also in saffron with a white garland and gold bangles, presses his palms together in reverence. Inside the arched niche stand a deity murti, flower offerings in pink and white, a gold kalasha-style pot and an ornate silver-and-gold altar, lit by a strip of orange lights. Brass lamps and offerings sit on the altar table in front.
