A photograph of a temple ritual scene seen through a metal railing. In the foreground, a priest in white dhoti with gold border and a long rudraksha mala holds a silver tray. Beside him, a woman in an orange-red sari with a leopard-print under-wrap stands with her back to the camera. Behind the railing, a bearded man with a tilak and rudraksha mala stands near a gold rail hung with white and red flower garlands and a large green banana-leaf bunch. A sign partly visible reads KALPAVRIKSHA / fulfilling wish tree. The scene suggests a puja or abhishekam setting.
