Beside a gilded shrine, a priest with a black turban and bare upper body in orange cloth lights or offers near a decorated deity murti; the deity is adorned with red and green garlands and a crown, and a small silver-and-blue figure stands on the altar. Another orange-clad attendant stands to the left and a red-and-gold statue of a guardian figure with a garland is at the right. A brass pot sits on the platform, and a framed picture hangs on the wall at upper left.
