A photo inside a temple shrine with a tiled ceiling and yellow-lit walls. A long-haired man in saffron robes with rudraksha malas and gold necklaces stands at left, reaching toward a brass plate of flowers, fruit and a small bowl. Beside him, a bare-chested man with a shaved head and vibhuti marks on his forehead holds the plate. Two other saffron-clad priests stand in the background, and a kalasha and brass vessel sit on a ledge with a garland of orange flowers. The scene resembles a puja or abhishekam offering.

A woman in a pink sari with gold jewellery and a red bindi stands at centre with her hands extended toward a bald man in a white garment. To the left a woman in a dark outfit with her palms pressed together in namaste watches. On the right a bare-chested priest with a sacred thread across his shoulder and a yellow-green dhoti holds his hands near the woman's hands.
