A photograph of an outdoor ritual at a temple setting with a yellow stone wall and green foliage behind. In the foreground, a figure in orange saffron robes with a dark hair bun, rudraksha beads and a gold pendant necklace stands with palms pressed together at the face in prayer. Behind and to the left, an older man in a white shirt and white dhoti holds up a round ornate fan-shaped object with a painted deity image, his hands joined. At the lower left, a brass oil lamp with a visible flame sits beside a silver tray. Two people in orange robes are partially visible at the left edge. The scene appears to be a puja or aarti offering.
