Evening puja inside a temple shrine with stone pillars. Two deity murtis stand on a stone pedestal draped with yellow-and-pink garlands, one with a crown and the other with a green-and-gold sari. A seated person in orange robes and a pink-and-white flower garland sits on a wooden chair at left, facing the shrine. Attendants in white dhoti-style clothes with gold borders stand nearby, one wearing an orange shawl and another holding a silver ceremonial staff, while a woman at right with gold bangles raises her hands. Brass vessels, a kalasha, a silver lamp stand and an oil lamp with a flame sit before the shrine.
