A stage at a temple-style ceremony with a red curtain and gold-framed backdrop. On the left, a seated man in an orange-brown dhoti and orange turban sits on a leopard-print cushioned golden throne with a mala of pink and white flowers, hands pressed together in namaskar. Behind him a green-draped altar holds a crowned deity murti garlanded with yellow, orange, pink and white flowers. On the right, a deity murti in a gold arched shrine is dressed in a pink sari with gold jewellery, garlanded with yellow and red flowers, with an oil lamp flame in front. A young attendant in an orange robe stands at the right holding a lamp and a bell. Offerings of flowers lie on the floor. Overall this looks like a puja or aarti in progress. The man seated on the throne has distinctive orange-brown attire and a flower mala, but his face is not identifiable, so the a person candidate is uncertain.
