A photograph of a ceremonial puja at a temple shrine. In the foreground, a man with long dreadlocked black hair and a rust-red dhoti and shawl, with a red beaded mala, reaches toward a seated deity murti decorated with garlands of yellow, red, white and green flowers. Tall brass oil lamps with flames stand before the murti, and a gold-coloured offering box sits below. Two attendants in saffron-orange robes stand at left, one holding a silver bowl. The murti wears a crown and gold-trimmed red drapery, with a gold-framed arch of flowers behind.
