A four-panel collage of photographs from a temple ritual setting with a red-and-gold backdrop. A person in a red garment with long dark hair and a red-and-white beaded mala around the neck stands at a gold-ornate throne holding a lit oil lamp in one panel, and pours liquid from a vessel over a gold seated figure in another. A small attendant in white stands near the throne in the lower panels, and a ganesha-like deity murti adorned with flower garlands sits beside the lamp in the right panels. The top-left and lower-left panels show the person bending over an offering vessel on the throne, a gold-trimmed kalasha area visible.
