Night photograph of a festive puja under a tent at a temple setting. Two painted deity murtis stand at left: one female figure in gold and purple with a crown and raised hand, and a male figure in a white-and-gold outfit holding a stick. In the centre, a seated figure in red robes with a red head covering and a white rudraksha-style garland sits on an ornate silver throne with a silver canopy and elephant-motif armrests. Before the throne, a bare-chested young man in saffron cloth sits with his hands joined. At right, a man in a saffron dhoti and beaded garland sits writing or reading by a plate of offerings, with brass lamps, flower garlands in yellow and pink, and a flood lamp overhead.
