A photograph of a night-time temple ritual at a shrine. On the left, a priest in a red-orange turban, a red-and-gold garment and a flower garland holds a lit flame in a metal lamp, with dhoop smoke rising beside him. Behind him, a younger attendant in white stands, and a shaved-headed priest in an orange-saffron shawl holds a silver plate. On the right, a large golden deity murti seated on a throne is decorated with multicoloured flower garlands in red, yellow, orange and white, gold ornaments and a pearl necklace, with a red cloth draped over the seat. A brass lamp stands at the lower left. The scene suggests an aarti before a seated deity murti.
