A temple shrine with a white-coated statue of a standing figure at the centre, placed on a gold-framed platform on the wet floor. Two priests in white dhotis with red borders stand before it; one shaved-headed priest on the left presses his palms together, and the other on the right holds an offering while standing barefoot. Behind them, a deity murti pair is dressed in orange and yellow silks and heavily garlanded with yellow and orange flowers, with brass lamps and vessels flanking the altar. Orange curtains frame the shrine. This appears to be an abhishekam or puja scene, with the white statue being bathed or anointed.
