Photograph of a night puja in a temporary open-sided pandal with white cloth overhead. Behind an ornate silver-covered throne seat, a seated man in a dark red-brown dhoti wears a white flower garland and holds his hands together. A bare-chested priest on the left in a red-brown dhoti waves a white fan toward a large deity murti with multiple arms and a lion mount. Two other yellow-garmented deity murtis stand in the background, one holding a veena. A brass vessel and a copper kalasha stand near a yellow-bordered square altar with flower offerings and oil lamps. A small attendant in saffron wears a rudraksha mala. A burning flame and a brass lamp sit in the foreground. Printed text is visible on the image overlay.
