Night ritual inside an open-sided temple pavilion with white canopy and pink-edged cloth. A priest in orange cloth and orange headwrap stands at left, extending his arm over a yellow-tiled fire pit where flames burn, and holds a lit flame. A second orange-clad attendant with an orange headband sits at the lower left edge. At right, a bearded man with long hair, wearing a red-orange shawl and red-orange cloth, sits on a gold ornate seat with a red cushion, hands folded in namaste, with a dark wooden lingam-style figure with garland to his side. Behind them is a decorated shrine with a deity murti of a seated figure flanked by two other figures, bright garlands, and a kalasha-like altar with oil lamps and smoke rising. Scene suggests a homa or puja.
