Outdoor night scene at a shrine decorated with multicoloured string lights and draped cloth. A long-haired man with a gold ornamental necklace, gold armbands and a rust-coloured shawl sits on a red cushioned seat, one hand raised to his head. Behind him, a priest in a bare-chested white dhoti with orange and green borders stands facing a decorated deity murti flanked by oil lamps, garlands and brass vessels. A woman in a red headcloth is seated at the lower right. The floor is covered with a striped mat with flower offerings and a basket in front.

A bearded man with long dark hair and a white tilak on his forehead sits on a red-cushioned silver throne, wearing a maroon-brown robe, a heavy gold chest ornament and gold beaded necklaces, and bright red-orange bangles. He holds a sprinkling implement and sprays liquid toward a shirtless, white-marked devotee bending forward before a grey stone pedestal. Behind them a second priest with white tilak marks and a white dhoti works at the altar, a large brass vessel and brass lamp stand nearby, orange and red cloths hang behind, and a small gold deity murti sits on the right. The man on the throne appears to be a person, based on the long hair, saffron-toned robe and ornate gold adornments, and the page refers to him as a person.2017-10-01December 07 20162016-12-07
