A photograph of an outdoor shrine during a puja. A priest in white dhoti and shawl stands with his hands together before a stone shrine decorated with marigold and orange garlands, gold lamps and brass vessels. Smoke rises from incense in front of the central deity murti and goddess figures. An orange-robed person sits on the left near a low platform. Orange curtains frame the shrine. Trays of offerings in front include fruit, sweets, rice and red flowers, with a small microphone stand nearby. No one is confidently identifiable as a person in this image.

The priest on the left wears a white dhoti and a garland, and the priest in the center wears a bare upper body with a sacred thread and sits beside a small puja lamp and brass vessels, conducting a puja.
