A man with long, swept-back dark hair and saffron-orange robes, wearing a rudraksha mala, sits at a carved wooden altar and gestures toward a brass deity murti and a stack of small offerings. Beside him, a younger man in orange robes sits attentively with a silver vessel and brass bowls in front of him. Behind them, a young man in white with an orange shawl sits with a microphone stand nearby. Hanging bells decorate the altar's edge, and marigold flowers and a small lamp rest on the platform. The wall behind shows faded posters and a painted map.
