A photograph of a temple puja inside a shrine with a red draped backdrop and an ornate gold arch. A bare-chested priest with a shaved head and a short beard, wearing a yellow shawl, rudraksha beads and a purple dhoti, holds a brass plate with a lit oil lamp and offerings toward a standing deity murti. The murti wears a crown, lotus-petal and white flower garlands, and a yellow garment. Two smaller garlanded figures sit nearby, and a woman with folded hands and a yellow saree is partly visible at the upper left. Lit oil lamps and incense smoke rise in the centre.
