Inside a temple shrine decorated with maroon drapes and a painted pillar, a shirtless man in a white dhoti holds a brass oil lamp (aarti) before deities adorned with marigold and white garlands. The central murti is a goddess holding a veena, flanked by a small deity murti and a red-flowered arrangement. Orange cloth covers the altar, with swan decorations, bananas, oranges, bowls of red petals, brass vessels and a thali of offerings in front. A figure in a pink sari stands at the right edge, and a studio light and softbox are visible. Devi Saraswati puja, abhishekam-free aarti during Navaratri.
