A small home shrine room with cream walls and a wooden cabinet. A priest in an orange-red dhoti with gold-bordered cloth bows low over a brass murti, performing padapuja or abhishekam with his hands on the metal base. Beside him, a woman in a red-orange sari and garlands of red and yellow marigolds stands with her head bent in devotion. A framed portrait of a long-haired figure in ornate clothing with a garland hangs on the cabinet, and a brass lamp sits on a small table. Clothing and flowers are the only other colours; the portrait is a depiction, not a person present, and no identity is stated.
