At the center a ritual is underway: a low carved wooden table with brass vessels, a kalasha and flower offerings sits on a blue cloth before a priest in white dhoti kneeling and performing puja. A figure to the right on a leopard-print seat wears an orange garment. In the foreground a flower garland and a small screen show the ceremony. The crowd is visible on the balconies above.
