A photograph of a padapuja-style ritual in a temple room with black stone walls and a closed wooden door. A bare-chested man with swept-back dark hair, a white tilak on his forehead, a long orange-and-maroon wrap and a long garland of beads sits on a gilded throne with a golden lion-form base, smiling and resting his bare feet on a tray of red flowers. Several devotees kneel around silver trays holding small silver bowls, red flowers and offerings: a woman in a green sari, a woman in white, an older woman with grey hair, and a man in a grey shirt touching the flowers. Brass oil lamps and hanging bells stand near the throne, and a colourful deity statue stands at the right edge. Two people are visible at the back among the offerings.
