Night puja at an outdoor ashram setting. A woman in a maroon and gold sari with a red flower garland and yellow face paint raises a multi-flame lamp toward a large illuminated deity murti of Kali standing on a prone figure, draped in white and green flower garlands and holding a sword. Two men sit behind a brass oil lamp with a lit flame and a small offering bowl; one wears a white dhoti and the other a maroon-orange cloth with rudraksha mala and bare head, hands folded in prayer. A brass lamp in the foreground holds a lit wick, and a backdrop banner shows a world map with glowing lights and a person portrait. Green cloth covers the altar.
