Outdoor ritual at a large black stone deity murti standing on a tiered pedestal, with a crown and multiple arms, apparently being bathed or anointed with liquid and yellow powder. Two priests in saffron-orange dhotis stand at a red-framed table draped with a striped blue cloth; the taller priest holds a lamp or offering while another pours from a pot. Two men in white dhotis with gold borders stand nearby, one with a rudraksha mala, beside a tripod-mounted video camera. Marigold and rose petals cover the base, under bare tree branches and a gilded wooden arch.
