Inside a temple shrine with a stone pillar and a shrine platform decorated with garlands and brass lamps, several people in saffron-orange robes stand in a line. A man in orange with long hair stands on the left, while a figure in orange and a young man in a yellow shirt and white dhoti stand in the centre, one pointing toward a man in white who holds an offering. A bald, bearded man in orange and gold-bordered cloth stands at the right. Before the shrine stand brass oil lamps, a kalasha-like vessel and marigold garlands, and inside the shrine are deity murtis with red and gold ornaments and flower garlands. The scene suggests a puja or abhishekam.
