Interior of a temple shrine with warm stone walls and an ornate golden shrine niche holding a small deity figure with pink flowers. A seated man on the left wears an orange-saffron cloth over one shoulder, a gold-beaded necklace, a beaded headband and armlets, and sits on a gold cushion. Opposite him, a bare-backed priest in red-orange dhoti sits with his back to the camera, his arm extended toward the altar, with a golden ear ornament and a red beaded headband. Brass vessels, pink flowers and leaves lie on the altar slab, and a brass lamp stand and bowls sit on the floor in front.
