Night outdoor ritual at a temple-like site under a large tree. A standing figure in orange robes holds a brass lamp or vessel near a dark stone deity murti on the left, with a pink stone base and offerings. Around him a group of about twenty men in white dhotis and orange shawls stand with hands folded in prayer, some wearing rudraksha malas. A dark reflecting pool and white and pink flower offerings lie on the ground. Another orange-clad figure stands at right with palms joined.

In the centre, a woman with long dark hair, wearing a saffron-orange draped garment, a heavy gold necklace of beads and a pendant, and a dark bindi, walks with a wooden cane. Beside her, a bearded man in saffron robes and a red-bordered cloth walks with glasses. Behind them, a man in saffron with an orange shawl and a younger man in white with an orange sash follow. On the left, an older man in white dhoti with a yellow shawl and a mala stands near a small child in pink, and a man in a blue striped shirt holds an orange cloth at the right edge.

Night outdoor ritual beneath a leafy tree. A group of about a dozen men in white dhotis and white shirts, several wearing orange shawls, stand in a semicircle clapping and smiling as they face a small altar on bare earth. On the altar is a framed devotional picture of a seated deity in orange and gold surrounded by garlands, with brass lamps and oil lamps lit before it, and a brass vessel nearby. The setting is an open clearing at night, reflecting an arati offering to a deity under the tree.

A white stepped fire altar holds a copper fire pit with a lit flame, scattered pink flowers and small brass vessels. Several men sit on a rug around it, most in white clothes with yellow shawls; one in the foreground wears an orange shawl and a beaded necklace and holds a lit oil lamp. Another man in a white and yellow outfit holds his hands together in prayer. A child in a striped shirt sits behind them, and trees and a wall are visible in the background. A brass vessel and a decorated plant stand at the left edge.
