A photograph inside a temple shrine of a garlanded deity murti seated on a golden throne, its figure dressed in a teal and red silk garment with gold ornaments and a crown. Marigold and yellow flower garlands drape the arch and throne. In the foreground a man in orange robes with long dark hair raises his hand toward the deity, while a second man in orange holds a silver tray. Brass oil lamps stand on both sides, and a bronze kalasha and offerings sit on the floor. A seated figure in orange with a yellow garland sits at lower centre, partly obscured. The setting suggests a puja or aarti in progress.
