A photograph of a temple-style ritual stage. Three young men in saffron-orange dhotis and wraps, with rudraksha malas and white body markings, sit cross-legged at a brass puja table holding small bowls and vessels. A bare-chested young man on the left wears gold armlets and ornate jewellery. Behind them, a golden standing female deity murti holds a lotus, and a richly dressed female deity murti sits on a throne decorated with garlands of pink, yellow and purple flowers. A red-and-gold canopy hangs above, and a painted backdrop shows a gopuram-style temple tower under a starry sky. A portrait of a seated figure in pink, with rudraksha and a gold necklace, appears on the left inside a garlanded frame. A person in orange appears at the right edge. The scene suggests a Meenakshi Pattabhishekam puja.
