Night photograph of a large outdoor temple ceremony at an amphitheatre-style venue lit by floodlights. A tall, elaborately decorated ratha-like structure with a golden throne-like canopy and a fan of colourful flower and cloth garlands stands at center, with a deity murti or seated figure within it. Rows of seated devotees in white and light clothing fill a raised stone tiered seating area behind. In the foreground, several bare-chested men in white dhotis sit with women in white and green saris, many holding brass thalis and oil lamps. A standing figure in dark clothing with a saffron-coloured cloth near the structure stands by a lit stage area. A monitor and orange cloth sit at the left edge. Ceremonial oil lamps and offerings are arranged on the stone floor.
