Outdoor ritual before a golden canopy and a decorated deity murti set on a stepped green-and-gold platform, garlanded with red and orange flowers. A bare-chested priest in white dhoti with an orange sash and sandalwood-marked body stands at the platform, adjusting something by its base. Nearby, a shaved-headed priest in orange robes and a shirtless man in white dhoti and orange cloth kneel and tend a brick fire pit with flames and offerings. A man in a white dhoti and orange head cloth stands with a microphone at the right, and a seated devotee in orange holds a cloth. Brass lamps, a brass oil stand and marigolds surround the platform; a row of devotees sits on the grass in the foreground. The scene resembles a homa or puja performed on the lawn of an open-air ceremony.
