A photograph of a ritual in a decorated hall with maroon walls. Three silver-framed thrones with canopies stand in a row; the central throne holds a deity murti or ornate figure draped in garlands, flanked by two figures. Garlanded deity images sit on the left and right thrones. In the foreground a priest in orange-brown dhoti and shawl kneels with hands folded, while another man in a blue-and-white dhoti bends forward presenting a tray or offering over a gold ornate stand heaped with flowers. A woman in a white sari with a red border stands at the right holding a plate, and seated devotees in white dhotis with rudraksha malas watch. Oil lamps, brass lamps, kalasha-like pots, marigold offerings and flower petals fill the floor, which is covered with colourful striped mats.
