A photograph of an outdoor temple ritual in a palm-lined courtyard. A bearded man in a maroon turban, red and gold patterned shawl and a garland of yellow and red flowers stands atop a large carved stone pedestal, raising a small lamp in his right hand beside a tall wooden shrine-like structure wrapped with yellow marigold garlands and a white cloth. Below, a crowd of devotees watches, some with palms pressed together, and a camera operator films from the right. A striped canopy, hanging bells and colourful strings decorate the scene under a tin roof.
