Evening ritual under a corrugated metal-roofed open pavilion strung with mango-leaf garlands and hanging tassels. At centre, a man in a saffron-orange robe stands at a raised stone fire pit with a burning flame, holding ritual items, while a seated priest in white and orange beside him assists. Behind the fire, a red and gold throne stands empty. At left, a golden deity murti with flower garlands and a woman in white sari with a flower garland sit near offerings. A seated devotee in a white cloth bows low in the foreground before brass vessels, fruit, flowers and a plate of green leaves. A cameraman in white shirt films the scene at right while a large seated crowd, mostly children in orange and white, watches.
