A photograph inside a canopied temple pavilion showing a man in a maroon-brown dhoti and wrap, with a pink and white flower garland, a gold waist ornament and gold armlets, standing with palms pressed together in namaste and looking up with a smile. Behind him are large decorated deity murtis with gold-embellished crowns, yellow marigold garlands and a swan figure, one holding a veena-like instrument. The man bears white vibhuti and a tilak on his forehead; his appearance is ceremonial with saffron-toned dress and rudraksha-style adornment, but his face and identity cannot be confirmed from appearance, so he is described by role as a devotee performing puja before the murtis.
