Photograph of a floral-decorated deity murti shrine with a golden kalasha and a gilded crown-like headdress. Two gold-coloured deity figures stand in the centre, one wearing an orange turban and the other a tall crown, with layered garlands and ornaments. A shaven-headed priest in saffron-orange robes with white forehead marks reaches toward a silver plate offered at the shrine, while a woman in a brown-orange sari with a flower garland stands at the left. Garlands of yellow, red, green and white flowers frame the arch. This is an abhishekam-style puja scene at the shrine.
