Outdoor ritual at an open-air shrine under large trees. Two priests in red and saffron-orange dhotis stand at a raised red-framed platform draped with an orange cloth, performing abhishekam on a black stone deity murti, a standing figure with a raised hand, decorated with flower garlands and offerings. A woman with long dark hair and a white flower garland, seen from behind, watches in the foreground beside a table with a striped green-and-pink cloth holding silver bowls, covered metal vessels and a brass plate. Other people in saffron and red robes stand in the background near trident-shaped poles. No a person candidate is clearly visible, so the a person field is none. Visible people total about six.
