Photograph of a temple-style puja for a deity murti decorated with garlands in red, purple, yellow and white. A central deity figure in a pink and gold sari-like garment and gold jewellery sits on a golden throne with an ornate umbrella above. Two gold-coloured standing attendant statues flank the murti with hands folded. In the foreground a man with long dark hair, bare-chested with a saffron/orange cloth and beaded necklaces, raises his hand over a brass lamp, while a second person in orange robes sits nearby. A backdrop shows a painted gopuram tower under a night sky. Fruit, bananas, flowers and brass vessels are arranged on the floor, and a green-and-white checked garment appears at the right edge.
