A temple shrine viewed through a doorway. A shaven-headed priest in an orange-red silk dhoti with gold borders, wearing a headband and beaded necklace and bare-chested, stands at a silver-and-gold altar holding a ritual implement toward a deity murti in a glowing arched niche. Behind him a woman in a similar red sari with gold necklaces stands by. A man in white dhoti and shawl on the right tends the altar. Flowers, brass lamps and an ornate gilded shrine surround the murti.
