Night photograph of an outdoor temple scene lit by a bright spotlight. Tiers of small deity murtis and figures stand on a stepped stone platform, many draped with yellow and orange marigold garlands, with a flower-decked arch above. A richly decorated silver palanquin or ratha with floral garlands sits to the left, a smaller garlanded shrine beside it, and a colourful striped mat covers the ground. Brass lamps and offerings are arranged in front, and no clearly identifiable person is visible in the frame.

On the left a silver ceremonial palanquin or canopy stands on a patterned cloth. In the foreground a seated man in a red-orange garment with a dark head covering sits before offerings of flowers, small heaps of kumkum and bowls, with a pair of drums nearby, apparently leading a ritual. The statues are unmoving stone or metal figures, not living people. The seated man's appearance is not sufficiently distinctive to confirm the page's claim, so his identity remains uncertain.2018-01-31
