A photograph of a temple ritual in a gold-ornate shrine. In the centre, a figure seated on a jewelled red cushioned throne is draped with long garlands of white, red and green flowers and wears a red robe, gold ornaments and a maroon head covering. A priest in the foreground, seen from behind with dark hair and an orange cloth over the shoulder, holds a lit lamp or flame toward the seated figure's face, as in an aarti. The throne is framed by gilded carved pillars and a golden arch.
