A seated group of devotees sits on mats and chairs in a temple hall during an evening Shivaratri gathering. Several women wear saris in pink, red, orange and yellow, and men wear pale kurtas, a blue jacket and a grey top. Behind them stand large decorated deity murtis with golden crowns, flower garlands and green, pink and gold garments. A wall of framed shelves and a small table with a laptop and speakers sit at the right edge, and a few people in front hold red and white bags. No specific ritual action is clearly visible beyond quiet seated attendance.
