Night scene in an open-sided pavilion with a white and pink canopy, a yellow-tiled fire pit blazing at left where a bare-chested man in orange dhoti and orange head-wrap stands with his arm outstretched over the flames. Behind him a seated devotee in dark clothes and a few others sit on striped floor mats. At right a man in saffron-orange robes with a red-orange cushioned seat sits beside a microphone and a dark monitor, wearing a long orange-and-beaded necklace, flanked by a golden lion statue. Behind him are gilded deity shrines draped with red cloth and garlands, and a woman in a green-and-red sari sits at lower right near a tub. Lamps and a small string of lights hang overhead.
