Temple puja scene in a shrine decorated with marigold and rose garlands. In the foreground, a pink pedestal holds a large golden-brown yantra-like object with a pair of curving horn-shaped finials and a striped cloth draped across it, surrounded by yellow and red flower offerings. A flame burns in a fire pit at the base, and silver oil lamps stand on either side. In the upper left, a bare-armed priest with white-striped forehead marks holds a ritual implement toward the offering. Behind, golden deity murti and hanging garlands fill the background. The image is a photograph.
