Evening outdoor ceremony beside a water tank at a temple-like venue. Large crowds of people in white clothes sit on tiered stone steps under a row of saffron and orange flags. In the foreground, several people in white and orange sit at low wooden ritual tables set with offerings, brass oil lamps and flowers, while a large video screen stands among them. On the right, an ornate decorated structure with garlands, colourful striped drapes and a peacock-like ceremonial canopy frames a golden deity murti and a shivalinga-shaped decorated form. A camera crane extends over the steps. Some people are visible on the water's edge, and light stands illuminate the scene.
