A photograph inside a narrow stone temple doorway during a puja. A figure with long dark hair and a rust-red robe stands at the centre, reaching toward a deity murti draped in a thick garland of white and yellow flowers with pink blossoms above. Behind, a brass kalasha-style lamp stand is visible. Devotees in orange and red saris and tunics stand with palms pressed together in prayer, one holding a brass plate of flowers, and a woman in a light blue sari is at the left edge. Only partial, identity-indeterminate figures are visible, and the appearance is not enough to establish the a person candidate.
