A photograph of a stage set for a temple-style ritual inside a hall with a blue painted backdrop, ornate golden arches and a bright lit ceiling. On a raised dais, a seated man in an orange-saffron robe with a rudraksha mala sits on a throne-like golden seat draped with colourful flower garlands. Centre stage, a priest in white clothing and a white turban stands near a deity murti decorated with marigold garlands and a flower-adorned vessel. Other figures in saffron and white stand nearby, and in the foreground several people sit at laptops and a monitor operating a recording setup, some wearing orange saris and white robes. Brass lamps and offering plates lie on the floor in front of the stage.
