A priest with a bare upper body and white markings on his chest and arms sits cross-legged on an orange cloth before a shrine, holding a microphone and a sheet of paper while conducting a puja. He wears a white dhoti with a dark border. Behind him, white marble statues of deities stand in front of a golden-brown patterned backdrop, including a tall figure in yellow and orange robes and figures in red and gold. A dark murti of Mahishasura Mardhini with a crown and garlands stands on an orange altar draped with orange silk. Brass kalasha pots holding red and white roses flank it, along with a flower-strewn tray, a row of small gold lamps, and brass vessels with turmeric and offerings on the floor. A tall brass lamp stands at right.
