Evening ritual on an open pavilion stage with a red carpet. A seated man in a maroon-and-gold outfit and a red turban sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne with a brocade cloth, hands joined, under a large multicoloured parasol. Before him, a man in white dhoti and orange shawl holds a brass pot with a green leaf topping. To the right, a woman in a brown-red sari with long dark hair stands with palms pressed together. Behind them, a deity murti with garlands, brass lamps and flower garlands. Seated devotees in white and purple saris fill the floor; a projection screen shows an image at right.
