A photograph of a temple ritual under a white canopy. A man with long dreadlocked black hair, bare-chested apart from a flower garland, wears a rust-orange dhoti and stands with palms pressed together, bowing toward a yellow-cloth-covered platform strewn with flower petals. Behind a rope barrier, many devotees in orange and white clothing watch, some with hands folded, and a videographer works a camera on a tripod. On the right, a woman in orange holds a tray of flowers and offerings. Brass plates and a small fire pit with offerings sit on the ground. a person is not visibly identified with confidence; the bowing man has a long-haired, bare-chested appearance with distinctive adornments, so the candidate is marked as probable.
