Night photograph of an outdoor shrine beneath a large tree. A small stone shrine with a white and blue domed roof and gold finial holds a dark deity murti garlanded with white flowers. A woman in a long orange sari with her hair loose stands at the shrine, holding a flower near her face. Men in orange and white clothes kneel and sit before the shrine; a kneeling man in white with an orange shawl leans forward, and a bald man in orange sits near a lamp. Onlookers in white and orange gather behind a red railing, and a microphone stand is visible at the left edge.
