A priest seated cross-legged on a blue-draped platform performs puja before a large deity murti dressed in a blue silk sari with gold border, garlanded with red, orange and white flower strands. The priest is bare-chested with white ash markings, wears a white dhoti with a golden-brown edge, and holds a brass bell in his left hand while lifting a lit incense or lamp in his right. Before the deity are a brass bowl of pink and yellow flowers and a row of small oil lamps on a blue cloth. A brass lamp stand and a silver bowl of offerings sit nearby.
