Outdoor shrine pavilion with grey stone pillars and orange drapes where a robed priest in saffron holds a lit flame before a deity murti with garlands of yellow and orange flowers. Participants with hands folded in prayer stand in front: a man in white at left, a woman in orange and a woman in green sari at right. Offerings, brass lamps and a kalasha sit on the stone platform. The priest's saffron robe and orange head covering are visible, but his face is not clearly shown, so the identity is not established.
