Night-time devotional event under a canopy strung with fairy lights. A seated figure in saffron-orange robes, with an orange head wrap, a red tilak and beaded necklaces, sits on a gold-framed red throne. A younger attendant in orange robes with gold borders kneels before him, holding a brass tray of fruit and offerings. Five girls in red and maroon dresses with flower garlands sit on a mat in front. Behind them is a banner with Kannada and English text, and a dark statue of a deity garlanded with flowers stands at left. Potted plants and a pedestal fan are also visible.
