A temple ritual inside an open-sided hall with a corrugated metal roof, showing a homa or fire ritual at a wooden fire pit. A priest in white dhoti and a pink head cloth pours from a small vessel into the flames while holding a kalasha-style pot, a rudraksha mala around his neck. Behind him a bare-chested attendant in a purple-and-gold shawl holds a bell, and a second attendant in a striped dhoti stands nearby. On the left a large golden-yellow cloth covers an object and white and red flower garlands lie on a striped mat. Seated behind the fire, a figure in orange-red clothing and a long rudraksha garland sits before a golden throne-like seat with a multicolour canopy. A printed banner on the wall shows a world map and a portrait of a robed figure in red. A digital clock displays 10:45. Several people are visible in the background.
