Outdoor evening puja on a terrace at dusk, with hills and trees behind. Two garlanded deity murtis, one in red and one in orange-clothed form, stand on a green-draped platform. A shaven-headed priest in saffron robes and a gold necklace sits on the right, ringing a bell and holding a silver vessel beside a lamp, with fruit offerings (bananas, apples, grapes) arranged on brass plates in front. Brass oil lamps flank the altar. Around twenty seated devotees in orange and saffron clothing, many women, sit on the terrace listening, along with a few standing figures on the left.
