Night photograph of an outdoor screening: a large projection screen mounted between two billboards shows a projected image of a person in dark clothing offering something to a figure in a dark, ornate costume standing beside a small altar-like table with a lit candle and a large face-like backdrop with orange drapery. Red and white billboard panels with Tamil text flank the screen, and a portrait photo appears at the top right of the right-hand billboard. A few dark figures sit in the foreground, and a ground-level pile of debris is visible in front of the screen.
