A photograph of an outdoor shrine structure decorated for a ceremony, with a dark stone base and pillars wrapped in marigold garlands and banana leaves. Blue velvet curtains hang at both sides. Inside, a standing figure in orange robes is pouring or offering something at a central deity murti, with a second figure in red-orange robes beside it. Two more people in orange stand at the left edge, one with hands raised in folded-hand greeting. A white stone figure sits on the platform, and brass lamps and kalasha-like vessels are arranged nearby. Coconuts hang from the roof corners. Green trees surround the structure.
