Night outdoor puja at a temple-like shrine under a canopy decorated with garlands and a deity murti draped in flowers. Priests in bare-chested or white ritual dress stand and sit at the altar, with a smoking offering and a tray of fruit and flowers before them. Seated devotees in front on a colourful striped mat watch the ritual, one holding a small tray. Oil lamps and a bright light illuminate the scene.
