A photo of a temple shrine heavily decorated with garlands of yellow, red and white flowers and green leaves. A bare-chested person with long matted dark hair and a multicoloured beaded wrist band stretches an arm toward the adorned deity figures. Gilded deity murtis wear crowns, jewelled necklaces and ornaments in front of a golden arched backdrop with orange drapery. A golden bull statue (Nandi) sits in the lower left foreground, and a large brass kalasha finial stands at the lower right beside a figure in blue and silver ornaments. Banana leaves frame the upper left. The scene suggests a puja or abhishekam at a temple shrine.
