Devotees in a temple hall perform an aarti before a golden lion-shaped throne-like altar. A woman in a yellow and cream sari with a red bindi holds her palms together while another woman near the right side holds up a multi-tiered brass oil lamp with bright flames. Women in saris stand in a line with hands joined in prayer, including a woman in an orange and gold sari, a woman in a purple and green sari, and a woman in a blue sari with a face mask. Behind them, rows of dark deity murtis and standing murtis in colourful garments are arranged along the wall, with an orange flag on a pole at left.
