Outdoor temple-style ceremony under a corrugated metal roof open to palm trees at dusk. A bare-chested man in a maroon-and-gold dhoti stands at the centre with hands folded in namaste, flanked by two orange cushioned chairs. Behind him, men in white dhotis and shirts, some holding cameras, and saffron-robed attendants stand around. In the foreground, a golden lion-like vahana statue and a golden deity figure in a maroon garment frame the scene, with garlands of orange and white flowers. A fire pit with burnt embers lies in front, and brass vessels and a small lamp sit on a low table. A yellow vehicle is parked in the background.2015-01-03January 03 20152015-01-03January 03 20152015-01-03January 03 20152015-01-03A photograph of a temple-style open pavilion with a corrugated metal roof and palm trees beyond.
