A photograph inside a yellow-walled temple room during a puja. A shaved-head priest in white dhoti and shawl, wearing a rudraksha mala and a pendant, holds a lit oil lamp (aarti) over a tray of offerings. A young man in a white t-shirt and face mask kneels on a striped rug, palms together in prayer. Fruit, flower petals, brass plates and a kalasha sit on red and striped cloth. Behind them are decorated deity murtis with gold ornaments, flower garlands hang from the ceiling, and a framed photo hangs on the left wall. Two people are visible; no candidate for a person is clearly present.
