A photograph of an open-sided ritual hall under a corrugated roof, with a pillared red-curtained shrine at right. In the centre, a man in white dhoti and shirt with a yellow shawl stands with palms pressed together before a brass vessel of flames, with plates of fruit, flowers and small bowls spread on a mat in front. A second man in white with a yellow cloth stands beside him. About a dozen people in white clothes stand along the back wall, several children among them, some with hands folded. A red and orange garland decorates the shrine seat, and a deity murti stands near the curtain. The setting suggests a padapuja or aarti offering.
