Photograph of a temple ritual in an open-sided stone shrine hall. In the foreground a bald man's head is seen from behind among seated devotees, one wearing a yellow and orange patterned headcloth. Standing priests in red-maroon and striped orange dhotis and shawls attend a black stone deity murti decorated with yellow and orange marigold garlands, with a lamp and brass vessels on a small table nearby. A red draped cloth hangs on the right and a red-and-yellow garland hangs on a pillar behind. Another priest in red stoops toward the shrine as an oil lamp burns. No clearly identifiable a person figure is visible.
