A photograph of an outdoor ritual at a golden canopied palanquin decorated with red and white flower garlands and peacock feathers. A priest in an orange-saffron robe with a red border and hood leans forward, holding a brass tray of bananas toward a deity murti seated inside, adorned with a crown, flower garlands and a red and gold silk garment. Behind the palanquin, a person in white clothing stands partly visible. A white brick wall and a sign reading parking directions appear at left. This appears to be an offering of fruit during a procession or puja.
