A photograph of a ritual on a stage with a painted backdrop of a tall temple gopuram and a mountain under a pink sky. A standing priest in orange robes raises a lit lamp before a decorated deity murti on an ornate altar. Around him, several seated devotees in orange and saffron clothing sit cross-legged on a carpeted platform, with brass oil lamps, trays of fruit and flowers, and a red offering plate in front of them. Brass lamp stands line the stage edges and a red curtain hangs at the left.
