A photograph of a temple ritual at a shrine with carved stone pillars and a tiled roof. A central figure with a tall black-and-white turban-like headdress, a rudraksha mala, a gold necklace and an orange-red cloth sits on a stone platform, arms extended over water, with yellow and orange marigold garlands draped around him. Behind him stand decorated deity murtis under a garland-framed arch, with flower garlands on the side figures. Around the platform, white-clad men in dhoti and sacred thread and women in orange and cream saris with white forehead markings attend the abhishekam, handling trays and cloth. a person is seated centrally, identified by the tall swept headdress, rudraksha mala and gold necklace; those cues are appearance-based only.
