A ceremonial puja at a hall with paper lanterns and hanging decorations overhead. Three bare-chested priests in white dhotis stand in front of a seated figure on an ornate gold throne with a sunburst backrest. The seated figure wears a rust-orange robe, a matching orange and pink turban, a flower garland of white, yellow and purple blooms, and gold bangles, and holds a green leaf bundle while being offered ritual items. One priest holds a silver tray with flowers and fruit, another holds a silver vessel and a sprig of leaves. Seated devotees in white clothes fill the floor below, with flower-decorated offerings in the foreground.
