A night-time Kali puja at an outdoor shrine. A large blue-skinned Kali murti stands at centre, adorned with garlands of yellow and magenta flowers, holding a sword and a severed head and wearing a white and silver crown and white cloth. Beneath her a red-draped platform holds a puja offering. At left, a man with long dreadlocks in a brown garment bends forward, garlanded with white flowers, presenting offerings, while a figure in saffron-orange robes with rudraksha beads stands beside him. Other saffron-clad attendants and a man holding a microphone stand in the background, and a world map with a dove and the text 'Sannyasis across 47 countries' hangs on the wall. Gold and red decorative hangings frame the scene.
