A photograph of a temple ritual in an open pavilion with a gold-framed arch behind. A standing man with long dark hair, wearing a yellow dhoti-style garment and a long gold-toned garland, holds a small brass vessel near a golden deity figure. The seated golden murti is adorned with a crown, a yellow turban-like head covering, a red bindi and multiple necklaces, and holds a trident. Garlands of yellow marigolds, white flowers and purple blossoms hang around the figure. Red drapes and a maroon cushioned seat complete the setting. Only one physical person is visible; the seated figure is a statue.
