A photograph of a temple ritual at an outdoor covered shrine. A figure in white dhoti with a red and white garland stands at the centre, palms pressed together in namaskar before a large gilded deity murti seated on a red velvet-draped throne with a gold arch, a crown and jewelled ornaments, decorated with yellow and purple marigold garlands. Several men in saffron-orange robes and rudraksha malas attend nearby, one holding a brass lamp and another a ceremonial implement, with ornate gold and silver lamps and a trident-like staff at the right. Water tanks and a corrugated roof are visible behind.
