Beside him, a second priest in a white dhoti and white shawl holds a bundle of incense sticks near a sacred fire blazing in a white stone fire pit. A red-brown cloth covers a decorated palanquin or ratha-like platform heaped with yellow and red garlands, white jasmine strands, and green leaves. Bananas, coconuts, fruit and a brass bowl sit on the platform's base, with rose petals scattered on the stone. Smoke fills the air. Gold-framed niches hold deity murtis. a person is not clearly visible.
