Night-time ceremony at an outdoor shrine with a dark stone linga draped in yellow and red marigold garlands and a yellow cloth canopy behind. On the left, a figure with a tall, piled black hair crown, a pink-and-white flower garland, gold necklaces and gold armbands sits on a golden throne, wearing an orange-red garment and holding a red and gold cloth bundle. On the right, a bare-chested, grey-haired man in a white dhoti with a red-and-white beaded necklace receives a long striped rod from the seated figure. Other figures in white dhotis and a bent devotee are visible in the background, along with a yellow flower decoration and a white-and-orange sash.
