A photograph of a ritual at a shrine with a gilded arch and carved stone pillars. Behind the scene, a golden deity murti of a standing and seated divine pair wears yellow garments and is garlanded with alternating red and yellow flower strings. In front, a seated figure in orange robes and a braided, long-haired appearance sits on an orange cushioned seat while a man in a white shirt kneels with a tray and a woman in a white sari with red floral print kneels with hands folded. Two men in white dhotis with orange shawls stand at left and right, and a man in orange robes stands at far left. A purple and blue mat and an orange floor cloth cover the ground. Ritual implements, a silver kalasha-like vessel and brass lamps stand on the altar.
