A photograph inside a decorated tent with white ceiling and hanging lamps, showing a priest in white dhoti and white shawl with orange-red border performing an aarti with a lit lamp before a seated figure at left. The seated man wears an orange-red garment, white and pink garland and a leopard-print cushion, with long dark hair and a tilak. Behind them a crowd of devotees, many women in saris and salwar, watches. A golden deity murti and gold-ornamented shrine stand in the background; at right a large kalasha-style decorated altar with fruit, flowers and a clock is set on a red-draped table. Golden peetha and floral garlands complete the scene.

In the foreground a bearded man in saffron/orange clothing sits on a leopard-print cushioned seat with hands joined in namaskar; a gold-coloured lion-form object sits near him. Opposite, a bare-chested elderly priest in white dhoti and shawl with a sacred thread stands with palms raised before a long red-draped table holding offerings, a kalasha-style vessel, a wall clock, and a fire pit with flames at the right. Behind them a large crowd of mostly women in saffron, pink and white saris sits watching, a cameraperson films, and a golden deity murti with a flower garland stands on the left. A screen behind shows a face. Gold-framed ornate pillars line the back.2016-12-15December 15 20162016-12-15
