A night photograph of devotees performing Pratyaksha Pada Puja under a decorated pandal hung with green banana leaves, string lights and colourful bunting. Several men and women stand barefoot on fresh banana leaves on a paved courtyard, hands joined in anjali mudra with palms pressed together. Most wear white dhotis or white clothing with orange-red shawls draped over their shoulders, and some hold small white bundles at their shoulders. Flower petals and marigold garlands lie at their feet. A dark statue and floral decorations are visible at the left edge, and a woman in a white sari with gold border stands at left in front of the line.
