Night photo of a covered outdoor platform with white pillars where several weathered stone deity murtis stand draped in coloured cloths: magenta, green with gold border, blue, red and violet. Pink and red flower petals and blossoms are scattered on the floor and placed on the statues. In the background, a man in a green shirt stands at left and a man in a striped shirt holds a video camera on a tripod-style mount, filming the murtis. A small sign is visible on the pillar at top right. The scene reads as a ritual decoration of stone idols rather than a discourse or procession.
