Close photo of a ritual in progress: a priest in red and orange clothing with an orange-beaded mala across his chest and white markings on his arms holds a brass bell and a flaming camphor or oil lamp, its fire rising above a small brass vessel. Behind the flame is a deity murti decorated with white flower garlands, gold jewellery and a red flower; gold-bordered cloth lies at the base. Only a partial view of a seated person's head appears at the lower right.
