A photograph inside a dim temple shrine. A priest stands at left in white dhoti and white garment, holding a lit oil lamp toward a deity murti in a gold-framed niche. The murti is adorned in a pink sari with green and gold borders, with garlands of flowers around its neck and a bright orange-yellow flame raised before it. Bananas and fruit sit on a brass tray at the base. Walls are weathered grey stone; a small round emblem hangs at the upper left. The scene is an aarti at the deity.
