A photograph of a night-time temple ritual under a corrugated metal roof. In the foreground a bare-chested man in a white dhoti with a gold border stands with palms pressed together in anjali, wearing rudraksha beads on his upper arm. Beside him a shaved-headed priest in a red-orange dhoti with gold border also stands with folded hands before a fire pit with brass fixtures. To the right, a large deity murti decorated with a golden crown, gold ornaments and garlands of marigold and purple flowers sits on a gilded carved vahana-style stand covered with green cloth. Two people are visible, the other figures being seated in the background.
