A photograph of a temple ritual in which a priest in white dhoti and shawl with gold border, wearing a rudraksha mala, performs an arati or puja before two golden metal murtis standing on a pedestal: a multi-armed deity murti holding a trident-like implement and a smaller female deity murti in an orange-red garment. Behind them is a large printed banner showing a smiling man in an orange-yellow turban, with a golden shrine and red-cushioned seats in the background. The priest's face is turned away from the camera, and the man on the banner is only a printed portrait.
