Night outdoor ritual photograph under a corrugated roof, with smoke drifting through the air. Rows of seated devotees, mostly women in saris of orange, red, yellow and pink, face a raised orange-brick platform holding a tall copper-and-brass ritual pillar with a kalasha-like top. A dark-skinned figure with white garlands sits near the platform, and a man in a white shirt sits at the right edge. A yellow cloth in the foreground blocks part of the view, and white leaf garlands hang on a line across the frame. Palm trees and red-painted poles surround the scene, with a small deity murti visible in the background.
