A temple ritual in front of a gold-framed shrine with a black deity murti adorned with red and white flower garlands and a jewelled necklace. A bare-chested priest with a rudraksha mala and white sacred markings on his shoulders and arm, wearing a white dhoti, places a silver crown-like headpiece on a baby's head. The baby is held by a woman in a pink-brown kurta who smiles down at the child. A young man in a black mask and grey jacket stands at left. Small brass plates, a pink-draped table with a small gold deity figure, and scattered flower petals sit in the foreground.
