A photo of a temple ritual in which a man in a green-and-grey silk garment with a bare right arm and a tilak on his forehead stands at a deity murti decorated with a crown, gold ornaments and multicolour flower garlands. He reaches toward the murti's face with his right hand while another person holds a golden plate at the left edge. The setting is a stone temple with gilded carvings and orange fabric behind the murti. The man's appearance is not clearly that of the a person, so the presence of the a person is uncertain.
