Outdoor evening ritual on a decorated stage under a multicoloured canopy with yellow, green, pink and orange borders and a central purple flower motif. A red backdrop frames an ornate golden throne-like seat garlanded with flowers, and a golden arch and a gold-framed deity image stand beside it. Several people in white dhotis and shirts gather around the central seat, one holding an object, while a man in an orange-and-saffron garment stands to the right. A deity image with many arms and a flame-like halo sits at left, flanked by two garlanded figures with orange and red garlands. Brass oil lamps (deepas) with flames stand on either side, and brass vessels and a kalasha-like pot sit on a gold-trimmed table in the foreground. A cameraman in a white shirt and jeans films the ceremony at right. Brass bells and a microphone are visible, and a small striped cushion sits on a gold stool.
