Indoor temple scene with a gold ornate backdrop draped with white and yellow flower garlands. Three seated deity murti stand in a row, dressed in colourful silk garments with gold necklaces and crowns. A bare-chested priest in orange dhoti and shawl, wearing a rudraksha mala and a face covering, stands at right holding a small brass vessel during puja beside a side altar with a kalasha-like offering.
