Night view of an outdoor temple courtyard lit by tall brass oil lamps (deepa stands) with lotus-topped finials, arranged along a dark red carpet and a striped runner. At the far end, a shrine with an ornate deity murti decorated with colourful garlands and flower arrangements sits under an arched canopy. Several devotees in white dhotis, white saris and light clothing stand and kneel near the shrine, some with hands folded. A priest in white stands at left beside the lamps. Dim lights and trees frame the scene. This appears to be a temple puja or aarti with oil lamps.
