Outdoor temple shrine under a stone roof during a ritual. Two deity murtis, one in red and gold with a crown and one with a black-and-white face, sit on a raised platform draped with yellow, purple and white flower garlands. A standing figure in saffron-orange robes and a gold necklace stands at center, while two more saffron-clad attendants bend over lamps and offerings at the right. Brass oil lamps, a kalasha and a gilded arch frame the scene, with a large painted figure in gold jewelry on the left and a small blue-clad figure on the altar.
