A photograph of devotees with folded hands standing in a covered pavilion with a striped cloth runway on the floor, facing a shrine. At the far end, a seated figure in pink-and-white clothing with a flower garland is a deity murti or statue; a golden trident stands beside the shrine. Brass pots and offerings sit on the steps. In the foreground, a man in a checked shirt and checked lungi holds his hands in anjali, beside an older man in a white shirt and white dhoti. A woman in a teal dress with a floral hem and a woman in a yellow-and-blue sari stand among others, including children in orange and red. A red-and-purple canopy with a pink patterned top covers the scene.

A long multicoloured striped cloth runs across the floor from the foreground toward the altar.

Foreground: an elderly woman in a light green saree with white blouse, a woman in a pink salwar with a long braid, a shirtless man with a white cloth over his shoulder, children in red shorts and a yellow top. Further back, a man in a checked shirt and lungi serves from a red-draped table, and a woman in a dark blue saree carries a steel plate. A striped mat runs along the floor on the right, and a seated elderly man in a white vest sits at its edge. At the far end, a pink-clad deity murti and a small shrine with golden trident (trishul) ornaments are visible, with a white umbrella above. This appears to be a meal line for annadan.2019-08-18August 18 20192019-08-18
