Close view of a gilded deity murti being bathed or decorated during a Kaali pooja, with a person's bare foot and yellow-and-white clothed legs visible at the left and an arm reaching in at the centre. A smaller gold image of a standing deity sits in an arched kirtimukha-style niche in the foreground, with scattered flower petals and offerings on the ground. Visible people are only partial: legs and hands, not identifiable as a full person, so no a person candidate is confirmed.
