Evening outdoor puja on a lawn in front of an illuminated white colonial-style building with arched windows lit in purple and green. A standing figure with a tall orange turban and a saffron wrap faces the gathering, with a woman in a white sari behind him. Seated in front on mats, several saffron-robed priests tend brass pooja plates and oil lamps set on a cloth. A large crowd of devotees sits on the grass in white clothes with orange shawls, facing the ritual. No candidate can be confirmed from appearance alone, so the central standing figure is described by role only.
