Night outdoor puja before a golden deity murti under a gold canopy with a multicolored umbrella, decorated with yellow and red marigold garlands. Two priests in white dhotis, one bare-chested, hold lit oil lamps toward the image, while a woman in a white sari and another attendant stand nearby. A brass tray with fruit and offerings sits on a draped table in the foreground, and a red wall is behind. No a person candidate is clearly identifiable from appearance; the image shows only white-clad attendants.
