A photograph inside a temple shrine during a puja. A bare-chested man in white dhoti and sacred thread kneels at left holding a small offering bowl. A woman in a maroon and red bandhani-style sari kneels in the centre, placing flower garlands on a seated deity murti with a crown, draped in red and pink flowers. A man with a shaved head and white dhoti sits at lower right beside brass puja vessels, a tray with an oil lamp and a kalasha. Behind them stand several deity murtis decorated with marigold and pink flower garlands, including figures on an orange-draped altar and a gilded arched niche. Dark maroon curtains and striped painted pillars frame the shrine, with orange cloth on the floor. Several people are visible.
