Night aarti before a gilded deity murti in a golden shrine palanquin. A priest in saffron-orange dhoti and shawl, with rudraksha mala and sandalwood markings on his forehead, holds a silver tray of flaming camphor aloft with smoke rising. Beside him a second priest in maroon-brown robes and a white garland stands with hands folded. The deity wears a gold crown, garlands and a gold necklace, and sits on a gold lion-form base draped in yellow cloth. A large printed map banner with a person.org text hangs at left.
