A temple stage with a decorated blue and gold backdrop hosts a ritual. On the left, a seated man in a rudraksha mala sits on a gold and multicolour-garlanded throne flanked by carved lions. Centre stage, a standing man in a saffron-orange dhoti and a white-clad priest hold hands over a garlanded deity murti, while a ceremonial figure in white clothes stands beside a flowering garland and gold ornament. Behind them, a small fire burns near brass trays of fruit, offerings and pots, and a bearded man in saffron sits at the stage edge. In the foreground, people operate laptops and monitors at the stage front.
