Two priests in white dhoti-style clothing with red and gold headcloths and rudraksha malas stand at a golden shrine, holding a long white and orange flower garland over a gilded deity murti. The murti wears a golden crown, gold necklaces and an ornate gold garland. Another gilded murti with a jewelled crown is visible at the right edge against a dark embroidered backdrop. The scene appears to be a flower garland offering in a temple setting. No individual's identity is asserted from appearance.
