A photograph of a temple-style ritual in front of a large painted or sculpted backdrop showing a four-armed seated deity holding a trident, drum and other implements, with a large rudraksha-like bead necklace, flanked by smaller figures of sages and a blue-skinned figure. Centered on a golden throne with a cobra hood canopy sits a man wearing an orange-red turban and a red-brown garment, with a green and white flower garland around his neck, smiling. Two people in white dhotis kneel at his feet; one at right in a red-and-white sari leans forward holding a woven bamboo basket. Other people in white clothing stand at the left and right edges. Golden trident ornaments appear at the upper left.
