Night photograph of a ritual on an open wooden cart draped with an orange cloth. A man seated in the centre wears a maroon wrap, a dark turban, and garlands of white and red flowers. He presses his palms together in prayer before a flaming oil lamp on a brass stand. Behind him stand two decorated deity murti with gold ornaments and jewelled crowns, framed by marigold garlands and a patterned cloth backdrop. A standing attendant holds a long ceremonial staff, and another person on the left raises his arms. A man in the foreground, wearing a rudraksha mala and white cloth, holds a brass lamp toward the flame. Tiger-striped cloth covers the seat.
