A seated priest in an orange saffron dhoti and bare upper body, wearing a rudraksha mala, sits with hands folded in prayer before a golden shrine. Three-line sacred marks are on his chest and arms. Behind him stand tall brass oil lamps, a gilded deity murti in a purple-draped niche with a lion beside it, and a silver-clad deity seated on a golden throne. Brass plates with kumkum, turmeric, a kalasha pot and a conch shell sit on the floor in front, consistent with a puja setting.
