Two priests sit behind the altar: the one on the left, bald with white tilak, wears a white dhoti and gold necklace and tends an offering tray and bowl with a small flame; the one on the right, with a shaved-back head and tilak, wears an orange-saffron shawl and dhoti with a gold ceremonial necklace and holds an incense or offering vessel. Garlands of yellow and white flowers, a coconut, green leaves and a brass kalasha-style vessel sit at the left edge. A white backdrop, orange string lights and a stage rig frame the scene.2011-12-20
