A photograph of an outdoor ritual at a temple complex with white and grey shikhara-style shrines behind a large crowd standing on stone steps. In the foreground, a bald priest in orange robes sits cross-legged on a red cloth beside a spread of silver and steel puja vessels, bowls of flowers, leaves, spices and offerings. Facing the shrine, a person with long dark hair, a leopard-print garment and an orange-marigold garland raises a silver trident. Another person in orange sits at a laptop on the right. Before a deity murti draped in marigold garlands, a kalasha and lamps are arranged on a green cloth. Several seated devotees in orange and purple clothing sit on the red mat at the right edge.
