A photograph of a single person performing a puja before a deity murti displayed in a gilded shrine with a golden arched canopy. The deity is decorated with layered garlands of yellow marigolds, red and white flowers, and gold chains, and wears a crown and jewelled ornaments. The standing devotee wears an orange-gold satin garment draped over one shoulder, a necklace, bangles and glasses, and waves a white fan or chamara toward the deity with one hand. A gilded lion or vahana figure sits at the base of the shrine on a red cloth, with a dark background and a fabric canopy in red, green and blue fringing above.
