A photograph of an outdoor-style hall during a fire ritual. A large deity murti with an orange and red garment and garland stands at left, hands raised. In front, a brick-lined fire pit blazes, with a metal dish of offerings held over the flames. Seated devotees in white dhotis and white shirts sit on the floor with palms pressed together in prayer. At right, a figure in a red-orange robe with a tilak and a long necklace stands over the fire pit, holding the offering dish, while another figure in orange stands at the far right edge near a microphone. Brass vessels, flower garlands and marigolds lie on the mat. Behind them, more seated people in white and orange fill the room.
