Temple ritual photograph in a stone-pillared hall. A man in the centre wears a red-orange headband, long beaded necklaces, a deep red garment and gold armlets, and holds a silver offering vessel toward a black stone lingam on a dark base. Behind him stand two shaved-headed priests in saffron-orange robes, one also holding a silver vessel. To the right a large deity murti in a red and pink sari-like garment, gold jewellery and a gold crown is garlanded with marigolds and bright flower strands. A brass lamp stand and ornate carved pillars frame the scene.
