A photograph of a crowded ritual gathering in front of a stone temple with a green-and-ornamented doorway. Several people in saffron and orange robes sit on the ground around a small brass puja setup with a lamp, a bowl of sweets, and a trident-topped staff. Behind them a standing figure in red and orange clothes holds an object while others crowd close. A decorated red-and-yellow umbrella stands at left, and a red and yellow cloth hangs on the white wall at right. A man in orange robes at the lower left bends over the puja items, and a person in a white shawl sits at right. The scene looks like a temple worship or homa setting with devotees gathered closely. Whether any figure is the a person could not be confirmed from appearance.
