Outdoor temple shrine scene under a stone canopy. A man in orange robes holds a tall brass oil lamp (aarti) on the left. Beside him, a man in orange clothes with a sash and a sacred cord stands at a shrine, placing a garland of marigolds and white flowers on a figure. Behind them, a large golden arch frames a deity murti with a red-and-orange figure, a crown, and red garlands. Brass vessels, a kalasha pot, a small pyramidal lamp stand, a silver bowl of white flowers, and a brass tray with offerings sit on the stone platform. A small white statue dressed in orange sits in front of a golden seated figure with a large garland, possibly a devotional figure. The scene reads as a puja or abhishekam with garlanding.
