Outdoor temple ceremony under a canopy of orange, yellow and green fabric with palm trees behind. A red carpet and a low white-and-red platform hold a figure seated behind offerings; a central figure in orange and gold is adorned with yellow garlands. Around the platform, devotees in white clothes stand and sit, several children among them, and a man in white stands at the front with a shaved head. A woman in a white sari stands at the right edge beside the platform. Brass pots with yellow flower garlands sit on the white table with fruit and plates. A white fan and a small white wooden bench appear at the lower left. In the background a decorated cart or ratha with a painted figure is visible, along with a white statue with a garland at left. The scene appears to be a puja or darshan.
