Night-time ritual on an outdoor stage lit by string lights. A man in a white dhoti with a gold border and dark beaded necklaces stands at left, raising his hands in blessing over a bare-chested young man in a white loincloth who holds up his arms. A figure seated on a gilded throne at right wears a dark-red robe, a tall dark crown with a gold crescent, gold chest ornaments and a long pink-and-white garland, and holds a white staff. Behind them, men in saffron-orange garments and rudraksha malas stand near the stage. In the lower left, a red and gold cloth lies on the ground.
