Two priests in white dhotis with red-and-gold borders sit on a mat before a gilded arched shrine with a green velvet backdrop. The shrine holds two deity murtis adorned with yellow and orange garlands and a red crown and jewellery. The priest on the right tends a fire at a homa, pouring from a steel vessel over oil lamps and burning embers, with bundled dry twigs, a brass bowl, a small kalasha and a red cloth bundle in the foreground. Behind them hangs a banner with photographs and printed text, and banana plants stand at the right edge.
