Night outdoor ritual photograph at a temple-style site. A priest in orange-saffron robes, with a rudraksha mala and a dark cloth headband, sits cross-legged on a colourful striped woven mat, holding a lit flame or lamp near a microphone stand. Behind him a tiered stone stepped platform holds many dark murti figures, most with yellow and orange marigold garlands, some with red and white garments and a few with decorated crowns. A central multi-armed deity figure in pink and blue stands among them, with red and white garlands framing the top. In front, silver kalasha pots, a silver lamp stand, brass vessels and trays of grains, rice, flowers and offerings are arranged on the mat. On the right, a draped green and red cloth-covered altar bears framed portrait photos decorated with garlands.
