A photograph of a temple shrine interior with a seated priest in saffron-orange dhoti and shawl, bare-chested with long matted hair tied up, facing a golden throne-like altar. On the golden peetha, a silver-toned deity murti of a four-armed goddess is seated with a red-cushioned backdrop, flanked by a second seated figure in red and gold; a small gilded lion stands beside the altar. Brass oil lamps with lit flames, bowls and a brass tray with offerings sit on the floor, and a striped rug covers the ground. The priest appears to be performing puja or aarti, with one arm raised toward the deities.
