Outdoor evening ritual at a raised stone platform beneath a large banyan tree. A serpent-hooded deity murti, draped in a blue cloth with gold borders and garlanded with white and multicolour flowers, sits on the platform. A man with long dreadlocks, wearing a multicoloured flower garland and a rust-brown dhoti-style robe, stands on the steps with hands folded in reverence. Beside him, a person in white dhoti and shawl stands near offerings of bananas and fruit on a brass plate, with brass kalasha and puja vessels nearby.
