Photograph of an indoor ritual space under a draped fabric ceiling with pink trim. In the foreground, a man with long dreadlocks, a leopard-print headband, an orange-red robe and a beaded orange-red armband sits on a silver footstool, looking down. Beside him, a second person in orange-red robes with a rudraksha mala and a tilak sits with a hand near the face. In front of them stands an ornate silver throne-like seat garlanded with white flowers, next to a silver lion-shaped stand with a small garlanded figure. On the striped floor are a black shivalinga-style stone with yellow turmeric, a wooden bowl of yellow powder, clay pots of liquid, mortars, a brass-colored deity murti, and a microphone stand with a fan. A deity shrine with colourful figures appears in the background. Visible people: two.
