Photo of a temple ritual indoors with a golden throne and trident in the background. A man in a rust-red robe with a white and red flower garland and gold chain holds an oil lamp with a flame while smiling. Beside him a young man in orange robes, with white markings on his face and body and a gold necklace, stands with palms pressed together and holds a bell. In front of them a fire burns on a platter ringed with red and white flowers. Pink petals lie on a tray at the left edge.
