Indoor puja scene in a plain room with a white wall, a floor-standing air conditioner and red curtains. On the right, a deity murti in an ornate gilt arch is dressed in bright red and gold garments with a crown, adorned with a long multicolour garland of red, yellow, green and white flowers. In front, a smaller silver-and-gold murti is decorated with white and red flower garlands on a golden throne-like seat. A tall brass lamp with a lit flame stands at the far right. On the left, a man in an orange-and-gold dhoti with a bare upper body, white vibhuti on his forehead and a white flower garland gestures toward the altar. In the lower foreground, a shaved-headed priest in orange cloth with a gold-bordered wrap plays a drum, and a seated person in orange clothing with long dark hair kneels beside the altar.
