A photograph of an outdoor night puja at a temple setting. A priest in an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl, wearing a tall patterned blue-and-gold cap and a gold-toned beaded necklace, sits cross-legged with palms pressed together in prayer. In front of him are brass and silver puja vessels, a brass kalasha with a spout, a plate of bananas and a small white cloth. To the right stands a large deity murti decorated with a golden hooded serpent canopy, yellow and white flower garlands, and a red silk skirt draping its base. Grey stone pillars frame the scene, with a corrugated roof behind and draped red and teal fabrics at the edges.
