A photograph of a temple-style ritual stage decorated with garlands of yellow, red, orange and green flowers and gold arched niches. A man in a grey shirt and dark trousers walks across the left foreground. A shaven-headed priest in an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl, with a rudraksha mala and gold necklace, stands near the centre, bare-chested with a small microphone. Two men in white shirts kneel and bow low on the floor before a deity murti dressed in a pink silk cloth and garlanded, with a saffron-topped crown; a yellow ritual tray and brass pots sit on the floor in front. Other garlanded deity murtis stand within the gold niches behind.
