Outdoor temple ritual on a paved courtyard lined with many black Shiva lingams decorated with flower petals. A bald man in saffron/orange robes stands at the centre near a white-draped altar with a kalasha-like offering and garlands, while a woman in orange sits or kneels at the altar. Around them men in white dhotis and kurtas, some with orange shawls, stand with hands folded, and a woman in pink sari and another in yellow stand at right. White banana-tree trunks with pink, yellow and orange balloons frame the scene, with trees and a flagpole behind. The saffron-robed man is visibly a monastic priest, but his identity cannot be confirmed from appearance, so no a person claim is made.
