Night photograph of a deity murti decorated for procession or ritual display. The central figure is a gilded metal idol in a green and red silk garment, wearing a tall golden crown, ornate gold necklaces and jeweled earrings. It is framed by a large ornate gold arched canopy and draped with thick garlands of white, red, yellow and green flowers. Two smaller attendant figures with tall crowns and beaded necklaces flank the central idol. Behind, a few blurred people in light clothing stand in the dark background, one in a pale sari on the right.

Night ritual photograph in an outdoor temple setting with smoke in the background. Three young men stand at left in orange and saffron dhotis, bare-chested with white ash markings and beaded or flower garlands; the central figure holds his hand toward a richly adorned deity murti. The murti, seated before a gold-framed arch and red drapery, wears a crown, layered red and yellow marigold garlands, sequined ornaments and a long white and silver garment. Two smaller attendant figures flank it, also garlanded. In front are brass kalasha vessels with mango leaves, flower-decorated pots, lit oil lamps and offering bowls on a red-patterned cloth. A standing figure in gold-yellow robes appears at right beside a garlanded pillar. The scene reads as a deity puja or abhishekam; no a person candidate is clearly identifiable.
