Inside a white marble temple hall with a polished reflective floor, a young man in white dhoti and shirt with a rudraksha mala carries a silver tray with offerings or lamps, while a man in a yellow-and-orange striped shirt and a second man in white with a yellow shawl walk alongside. Behind them, a large red, orange and green ceremonial umbrella with fringe is held aloft, and a dark deity murti in an orange-draped niche stands near gilded doorways.
