Night outdoor ritual under a corrugated roof strung with coloured fairy lights. A central figure with a tall dark swept-back hairstyle, flower adornment on the head, and a red-brown garment with a long flower garland and ornaments stands with palms pressed together in namaskar, bare feet on a stone floor scattered with leaves. Behind him a line of people in saffron and orange robes stands in a row, and devotees in white dhotis and saris stand nearby. At right, an attendant in white with a yellow-bordered garment and garland holds a ceremonial object. Beside a red stepped platform stands a garlanded deity murti. A palm tree and a tall golden kalasha-style pillar are visible on the right.

He wears a dark brown-maroon dhoti and matching shawl draped over his left shoulder, a white and red flower garland with a beaded mala, gold bangles and armlets, and a dark cap with a leopard-print band. A gold ornamental belt is at his waist, and a brass lamp stand with a yellow flower garland sits beside him against a blue backdrop with hanging fabric.
