A photograph of a temple shrine entrance during a puja. Priests in yellow dhotis and bare upper bodies stand before a golden kalasha and lamp-like vessels on a white-draped table, while the central priest raises a lit oil lamp or vessel toward the deity image. A large framed deity murti picture with orange and yellow marigold garlands hangs behind, flanked by two painted dvarapala guardian statues with garlands. Devotees in orange and white sit on a green floor with hands folded in prayer; a man in white holds a camera. Blue-grey pillars and a lotus ceiling medallion frame the scene.
