A temple ritual outdoors under a canopy. A bare-chested priest in white dhoti with a gold border, wearing a pink-and-red turban and a rudraksha mala, holds a silver fire vessel and pours liquid over a deity murti decorated with yellow and white flower garlands. Beside him, a second priest in white holds a plate of white flowers. Brass oil lamps stand at left, a lion-shaped finial on one lamp. Smoke rises from a brick fire pit with offerings in front. Ornate gold-toned halo-shaped ornaments flank the shrine, and an orange and red embroidered banner hangs on the right. Seated devotees in white with folded hands watch at left, and a cameraman stands behind.
