Photograph of a temple shrine during worship. A golden ornate canopy or palanquin-style structure is wrapped in a dense band of red-pink roses and petals. Lit brass oil lamps with flames sit in front of it, and a hand holds a brass plate or tray near the lamps. Silver vessels stand on the ledge below, and a small sprig of green leaves lies among the flowers. Only a partial hand and wrist of a person are visible at the edges, so the count is one. The setting suggests puja or aarti at a deity shrine.
