Night temple scene with a large ornate gold serpent hood (naga) behind a decorated deity murti. The murti is covered in garlands of yellow and white flowers with red blossoms and wears a silver-and-gold ornament. In the foreground stands a man seen from behind, wearing an orange-brown turban, an orange-brown cloth draped over his bare shoulders, and a rudraksha-style mala and earring. Flower-decorated kalasha pots with yellow garlands flank the altar, which is draped in red and pink cloth. Devotees, some in sarees, are visible in the dim background, with smoke or incense haze in the air.
