Night-time photograph at a temple where a priest bare-chested and wearing a white dhoti with a gold-bordered cloth pours water from a brass pot over a golden metal deity murti standing on a dark stone pedestal. The murti has a garland of yellow flowers draped around it. Behind the priest, a dark granite base and a striped multicolour canopy are visible, with brass pots set in a row on the platform. Another attendant in white bends over at the right, and devotees are seated in the background under floodlights.
