At night, a photograph shows a deity murti decorated with a dense garland of yellow marigolds, red flowers and white strands, set within an ornate golden arched frame and beneath a colourful fringed canopy. A man in white dhoti and shawl with gold border stands at left, waving a white whisk or chamara fan toward the deity. Brass vessels, a plate of offerings and a silk cloth lie on the table in front, and a flame burns at the right edge. The lighting is dark and focused on the deity. No a person candidate is clearly visible.
