A photograph of a temple shrine with gold-finished and red-curtained sanctum. A bare-chested priest in an orange dhoti sits cross-legged at the front of a gilded platform, his right arm extended toward a deity murti seated on a throne in the centre. The murti wears a crown and jewelled ornaments. Two smaller standing and seated figures in red and gold attire flank the central deity, and a blue-skinned deity figure with many arms stands in the left background. Tall brass oil lamps, a kalasha-style vessel and brass plates with offerings surround the scene, with a striped mat on the floor. The priest appears to be performing puja or aarti. Two statues are the only other figures, so one physical person is visible.
