Indoor temple scene in a white-pillared hall with a polished dark floor. Two priests in white dhotis and yellow-trimmed cloths stand at a shrine niche with a lit oil lamp, and one kneels on a mat before a row of brass oil lamps. Around them sit about a dozen devotees on mats, including girls with long braids in red, green and blue salwar outfits, women in saris, and a young boy. A small television on a cabinet shows a screen. Decorative red and blue banners with white motifs hang from the pillars, and a standing deity figure appears at the right edge. A lit oil lamp ritual, possibly puja or aarti, takes place for the seated congregation.
