A photograph of a temple shrine during a Hindu ritual. Two large deity murtis stand side by side, adorned with multicoloured flower garlands in yellow, red, white and pink, and gold crowns. A man in a saffron-orange shirt and white dhoti stands in the centre with his back partly turned, one hand raised near the murtis, and his hair is dark and loose. Beside him are brass vessels and a silver-rimmed pot, and white and red-bordered cloth hangs behind. The image is rotated sideways.
