Night-time temple ritual photograph. A man with long dark hair and a bare chest, wearing a red-orange dhoti with heavy gold waist belt and gold necklace and armlets, lifts a long garland of yellow and white flowers with red ribbon-like bands above a brass tray. To the left, a foreground devotee in the foreground holds palms together in namaskar, and a seated person in white with a tilak and gold necklace kneels behind a bundle of leaves. Another figure in red-orange clothing stands in the background, and a partially visible man in the far left foreground is bare-shouldered.
