A man with long blue curly hair, bare-chested and wearing an orange saffron cloth wrap and rudraksha mala, stands at night offering a lamp before an ornate silver and gold deity murti adorned with flower garlands, a decorated crown and colourful fabric. He holds a lit lamp or aarti flame toward the murti while a camera operator films from the right. Lamps glow in front of the altar, a gold-carved pedestal stands below, and a brick wall with a barred window forms the background. Rows of shoe racks appear at left.

A bare-chested priest in an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl, with a sacred thread and garland, pours liquid from a small silver vessel over a flower-decorated deity murti housed in a canopy of yellow and red garlands. Smoke and incense haze drift around the shrine, with oil lamps burning at the base and a silver bowl of offerings and flowers in front. A second bare-chested man in white dhoti with a garland stands at left, holding a microphone, and another assistant in white stands behind him. A gilded doorway with red drapery frames the right side. Appears to be an abhishekam or puja.2016-02-16November 22 20182018-11-22November 22 20182018-11-22
