Outdoor temple scene beneath a large leafy tree. A tall black stone deity murti with multiple arms and a crown stands on a dark pedestal strewn with red and yellow flower petals, with a coconut tied at its chest. To the left, a shaved-headed priest in a red-and-yellow dhoti and shawl with rudraksha mala holds a silver tray and a book. A red-framed table covered with a striped blue cloth holds silver vessels. Several people in white dhotis and mala beads stand nearby, and a woman in orange sari stands at left. A video camera on a tripod records the ritual. Gold-patterned carved pillars frame the right edge.
