A photograph of a temple ritual at a large ornate golden door carved with panels and decorated with green leaf-and-flower garlands. In the foreground a bald man in orange robes stands with his back to the camera, flanked by men in white dhotis. On the right, a man with a shaved head in orange and red cloth stands with hands pressed together in namaskar near a small lit oil lamp on a gold-edged platform. Another person in white stands at the left edge. The scene suggests a puja or darshan at the temple doorway; no clear identification of any individual is made.
