Night-time temple ritual in a stone-pillared hall strung with small lights. A bald elderly priest in an orange-peach shawl holds a brass bell and an oil lamp with a flame, performing aarti before a deity murti draped in a blue cloth with yellow, pink, purple and white flower garlands. Beside him, a man in orange robes with long hair and a tilak presses his palms together in namaste. At left, a figure in an orange turban and orange robe with a long dark mane and a gold necklace smiles with palms joined. A small white statue in orange cloth wearing a flower garland sits on a golden cloth at the foreground, with brass lamps, plates and flower offerings arranged nearby. Several more people in orange stand in the background.
