Around him, several attendants in saffron/orange dhotis and sashes stand and hold ritual items, and robed priests in white dhotis stand with hands folded in prayer near the walls. A decorated golden canopy and a flower-garlanded deity murti are visible at left, with a pink cloth-draped platform and offering tables. Ornamental banners and framed portraits hang on the walls above.
