A photograph of a ritual on an outdoor stage draped with white cloth. A person in a grey sweater and white dhoti kneels at the lower left, facing two metal deity murtis seated on a white platform, one with a crown and a raised trident-like staff. The murtis wear orange shawls and ornate gold-toned adornments. Rows of brass pots with woven rattan netting surround the platform, and a purple cloth edges the stage. Sunlight and palm fronds appear at the upper left.
