A photograph of a temple ritual seen from behind a dark silhouette of seated devotees in the foreground. On a stone shrine with a red and gold arch, a deity murti stands decorated with purple garments, a crown and garlands of pink and yellow flowers. A man in an orange robe performs puja, holding a small golden object before the murti, while two men in white dhotis stand to the left holding brass vessels. A cameraman in white stands at right beside a tripod. Orange and pink drapes frame the shrine and a kalasha-like golden stand is in front of the deity.
