Outdoor evening ceremony at a temple plinth. A bare-chested man with long swept-back dark hair, a white tilak on his forehead, a long red-pink garland of flowers, and an orange-red dhoti sits on the raised platform and holds a small object to his mouth. Two shaven-headed boys in orange and maroon robes kneel beside him, one holding his hand. Behind them stands a copper-toned pillar or kalasha with a golden deity figure, wrapped in yellow marigold garlands, and a heap of flowers at its base. Night sky and palm fronds are visible behind.
