A photograph of an indoor temple shrine, rotated sideways. A priest in an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl stands at the left, bending over a white-draped altar with a black deity murti and a garland. Behind the altar are three framed portrait photographs on a gold-framed shelf with red drapery, and a decorated deity murti in blue and red garments with a crown stands on a gold pedestal. Brass lamps and kalasha-like vessels sit on the left, and a framed image of a figure holding a trident hangs at the bottom. The scene looks like an abhishekam and alankaram ritual.
