A brass trishula stands on the left and a silver plate of offerings sits on a pink cloth in the foreground. At right, a framed portrait of a bearded man with long hair and gold necklaces sits on a red and gold throne, with a hand raised. The corrugated roof and green tarpaulin enclose the open-air shrine.

A man seen from behind in an orange-saffron cloth draped over his bare upper body performs an oil lamp (aarti) before a small shrine with a golden arched frame. Inside the shrine stands a deity murti in red and green garments, with a trident (trishul) on the left. Fresh garlands of white and red flowers hang around the frame and a red silk cloth. A black cow stands at the left edge, and a brass plate sits in the lower foreground. A corrugated roof covers the open-sided shelter, with stacked white sacks at the right. The man has grey hair tied up, white tilak markings on his forehead and arms, and a rudraksha mala around his neck.

A bare-chested priest in an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl stands at left in a temple shrine, holding a lamp or offering toward a deity. Behind him is a golden ornate throne with a radiating golden halo and a seated gold-coloured deity murti with a large crown-like head ornament. Gold and silver statues of animals and figures stand on the floor, with green and red cloth draped on side platforms and stacked red cloth bundles at right. The walls are pale green with an arched niche at left. The scene suggests a neivaidhyam food offering in a temple, though this is not fully legible.
