Indoor photo of a ritual in a pink-walled room where a deity murti or sacred image is decorated with white and orange garlands and flowers, with a brass oil lamp standing beside it. A shaved-headed monk in saffron robes reaches toward the decorated image while others in orange and maroon robes crowd around. On the right, a young man in a purple shawl holds a rudraksha mala and folded hands beside an elderly man in white dhoti and shawl. A framed portrait garlanded with orange flowers hangs high on the wall above the scene, labelled with no readable caption. Samadhi-like ritual activity appears to be ongoing with a small group of devotees watching.
